Issues in developing routine data sources for health planning.

PERSONS ENGAGED IN HEALTH PLANNING today are not being faced with a new set of conditions for which unanticipated demands for data are being made. Rather, they need to sort out from old demands those that could be met, in part or fully, by information from routine data sources and to examine under what conditions this might be accomplished. This is a repetitive process in which many in and out of government have struggled long before the current era of health planning and regulation, and the issues involved will never be fully resolved. We are unlikely ever to be satisfied that we have gone as far as possible with routine data sources to meet information needs for planning. This view of the future should not be interpreted as pessimistic, however-it simply recognizes several realities, including the complexity and uncertainties associated with many of the issues in health planning and the implausibility of achieving a state of sufficiency with available data. In this paper, my approach is to proceed from a
