Prioritizing standards for implementation

Unified information systems for health

• Prioritizing areas for standardization – Facility registries

– Provider registries

– Health workforce registries

– National insurance schemes registries

– National Citizen UIDs (patient/person UIDs)

– Essential drugs and commodities registries

– Coding of high-priority diseases, laboratory values, terminologies

– Device-to-device interoperability standards
