These include the framework on legislation, regulation, planning, and the resources required for the system to be fully functional

29
Q

Data sources are divided into two main categories

A

Population –
Institution –

30
Q

based approaches such as civil registration, censuses, and population surveys

A

population

31
Q

based data such as individual records, resource records, and service records.

A

institution

32
Q

refers to the handling of data, starting from collection and storage to data flow and quality assurance, processing, compilation, and data analysis.

A

Data Management

32
Q

Data is transformed into useful information that serves as evidence and provides insight crucial to shaping a health action

A

Information products

32
Q

refer to the health information system resources

A

inputs

32
Q

HIS enhances the value of health information by making it readily available to policymakers and data users.

A

Dissemination and Use

33
Q

indicators, data sources, and data management
