First Sentence

A useful way of thinking about potential uses of integrated data networks is captured in the matrix below (Table 1.1), which illustrates how data from these sources intersect with the generally accepted dimensions by which health care system performance is measured: access, the freedom and equality of opportunity to obtain adequate and effective health services (Aday et al., 1993); cost, the combination of health goods and services that produces the maximum benefit for society within a set budget (Aday et al., 1993); and quality, the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge (Lohr, 1990).
