Development of a PHC nursing information system in Korea.
WHO has established collaborating centres at educational institutions throughout the world to assist with WHO research. In 1988 a WHO Collaborating Centre was inaugurated at Yonsei University College of Nursing in Korea. Since then two important research projects have been completed for establishing a data bank of human resources of nursing for primary health care (PHC) in Korea. Both projects strengthen the PHC nursing information systems in Korea and, as such, are beginning to develop PHC networks throughout Korea, passing on information to an international network system. Below, the rationale behind the two projects, the methodology and the results.
