Health record core data set.
Information is a key resource for health care institutions. Clinical and financial information about health care is vital to operational and strategic planning, financial management, marketing, review of patient care quality, physician credentialing and epidemiology.

Health care executives are committing resources for information to assist them in managing their institutions.
