Abstract:
|
Many modern industrialized societies are undergoing a process of "regionalization" of their systems for health care delivery and financing. Functions previously performed by national governments are being shifted to regional governments (e.g., states and provinces). While the pace and form of change differ according to national history and national polity, cross-nationally the changes uniformly demand more and better health data at the regional level, and a change in the role of health data at the national level. A consequence has been change in the organization, resources, structure, content, and methods of health data systems at the national and regional levels, and in the relationships between national and regional health data systems. This session examines and evaluates the experience from the viewpoint of government health surveys at the national and regional levels in two countries, Canada and the United States.
