Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the information collected by the civil registration and vital statistics system enables the continuous updating of population registers, associated registers such as electoral rolls, and well-designed identification systems that are central to national administration and security. [...]the registration of births and deaths generates a wealth of population data that underpin policy and planning across many sectors. [...]technological innovation is needed to improve the speed and reliability of vital events registration and streamline data flows, while simultaneously enhancing the experience of individuals and families.8 Rationalizing and streamlining health information flows will help reduce duplication, improve quality and enable sharing with other government agencies.
