title: Preliminary study on relevant data for health management in hospitals.
abstract: Data and information are nowadays keys of success. We experienced the building of an hospital Information System (IS) selecting data from those already routinely produced and sharing them with health care units and general management. IS should be shaped to accomplish mission, vision and strategic direction of the hospital and in this direction our efforts are oriented.
