Title: [Basics of Bavarian health assessment reporting]. Author: Wildner M, Zapf A, Kuhn J. Journal: Gesundheitswesen; 2004 Feb; 66 Suppl 1():S3-7. PubMed ID: 14770330. Abstract: Management information systems which support a demand-oriented, integrative and comprehensive decision-making in health care policy are of pre-eminent importance for the health care system. Present health care legislation in Bavaria underlines the importance of health reporting as a tool for periodical assessment of the situation and starting-point for decision-making in health care. Demands made on the Bavarian health report stem from both European and national levels and also from the regional structure within the state. It is intended that the health reporting should reach the local level. Single reports cannot cover all relevant aspects. Therefore, health reporting in Bavaria has a modular structure. There is a need for integrated, flexibly useful information. Following an evidence-based approach, health information may be subject to critical assessment. This approach enables decision makers to assess the grade of certainty of recommendations. Health reporting in Bavaria aims at following the people through time. The intelligent use of new media will have to play a key role.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
