 evaluationThe HIS is sometimes equated with monitoring and
evaluation, but this is an over simplification
 The main sources of health statistics are surveys, administrative
and medical records, claims data, vital records, surveillance,
disease registries, and peer-reviewed literature.
 The ultimate objective of collecting data is to inform health
programme planning as well as policy-making and, ultimately,
global health outcomes and equity. Well-functioning health
information systems empower decision-makers to manage and
lead more effectively, by providing useful evidence at the lowest
possible cost.
