Abstract

This chapter discusses information requirements across health care organizations. As such, this chapter bridges content from previous sections of this textbook that have discussed information needs by individual providers or patients with content from other sections that discuss population-wide information management. This chapter also discusses how health care business strategies and organizational structures have evolved over time, and the implications of those changes for data and information management.
