Toward a Health Statistics System for the 21st Century
- Share to:
For decades, our nation has collected statistics that provide information on the health status and health care utilization of our population. This information is gathered from a variety of sources: national surveys, administrative records, vital statistics, and state- and local-level data sources. Sev- eral public agencies are responsible for the collection, compilation, analy- ses, and reporting of these statistics. The statistics are used by numerous different people and groups—policy makers in Congress and state legisla- tures, public health and health care researchers, health care providers, em- ployers, insurers and other private sector stakeholders, consumers, and many others in the health community—for many different reasons. The data, the data collection methods, the data providers, and the data users are the components that combine to form what is considered to be our national health statistics system.
