The Health Information Quality Authority, in partnership with other health agencies, is in the process of developing an inventory of the major national health information sources. It is planned to publish this inventory later this year. This work represents the first phase of a larger project. Working with other health agencies, the Authority then intends to develop a set of standards aimed at improving the overall quality, use and ultimately coverage of health information nationally.
