地方卫生信息可以成为改善社区健康的有力工具。它既可以突出问题的存在，也可以突出改进的机会。它还可以指导地方行动，支持政策变化，提高方案的有效性。然而，扩大地方卫生信息的提供和使用的努力面临着重大的技术和体制障碍，以及卫生信息隐私问题。本文概述了当前围绕当地卫生信息的可用性和使用的问题，确定了阻碍其使用的障碍，并提出了潜在的解决方案。
Local health information can be a powerful vehicle for improving the health of a community. It can highlight both the existence of problems and opportunities for improvement. It can also guide local action in support of policy changes and improve programs' effectiveness. However, efforts to expand the availability and use of local health information face major technical and institutional barriers, as well as health information privacy concerns. This paper provides an overview of current issues surrounding the availability and use of local health information, identifies barriers that hinder its use, and suggests potential solutions.
