Resumo(s)
The inability to invest in and develop mortality information systems has been considered the single most critical failure in health information systems. Health information systems are an integral part of health systems. This includes strengthening not only the information content but also the information systems themselves, health information platforms and infrastructure. In this article, particular focus has been placed on the regional and inter-sectoral approach to implementation adopted in Portugal. The article shows how legal and operational barriers have been overcome and focuses on the potential of the new system to improve the quality and timeliness of mortality statistics.
