title: A template for health information.
abstract: The Template for Health Information is a software package for microcomputers developed by the National Task Force on Health Information of Statistics Canada. The Template software provides a conceptual framework for the collection, analysis and utilization of health information for policy planning and management uses. This framework involves interactions between a population of individuals, their external environment, and sets of potential health-affecting interventions. The Template is seen as a pedagogical device for incorporating the many perspectives of different health constituencies. A floppy diskette is provided with the article to demonstrate the potential of the Template.
