title: Gearing up for health data in the information age.
abstract: This workshop summary focuses on public disclosure--the publication of provider-specific (but non-person-identified) information to improve health care and the delivery of health services. It also summarizes participant discussions about quality-of-care research in health database organizations, as well as issues related more broadly to the creation of a health data infrastructure.
