characteristics since population changes are a key component of changing health needs. by
looking at behavioural changes in the population and how these might change a population’s
structure (age) and composition (gender, race, and so on) in the medium and long term. It have
also helped in developing public health programmes and designing instruments to monitor and
evaluate the long-term goals of these programmes.Data that you help gather during the
registration process on understanding patients information, for example, age, gender, race and
ethnicity; turns into a piece of the patient's clinical record. This data enables the consideration
to group discuss successfully with patients, just as comprehend a patient's way of life, which
may influence their well-being. By finding out about the patients, the hospital/clinic will be
better ready to convey administrations. Since race and ethnicity influence patients' well-being
and social insurance, it is basic to gather this data.
