摘要：

Around the world, informatics has been cited as a key enabler of health sector reform. Recent reform programs in Canada, reflecting this global consensus, have emphasized the importance of quality information and information technology in meeting their goals. Standards are an important building block for achieving the required comprehensive and integrated health information infrastructure. This paper describes the current status of, and future plans for, health informatics and related standards in Canada. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
