Abstract
This research paper examines the critical use of public health information systems in enhancing health outcomes research on populations. As a systematic review, the paper will explore five published articles on studies that address the ever-increasing application of public health information systems to public health outcomes research within the domain framework of population-level health quality measures, related health measures, and efficiency measures. The studies were conducted using different information systems as data sources such as the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), the Pediatric Health Information Systems Database, the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) of the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The systematic review found that those systems were successfully used in population-based studies in collecting, evaluating, interpreting, assessing, and investigating health data outcomes from which findings will later be used for improved public health planning.
