Abstract

Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) are clinic-focused and largely blind to community events; but Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSS) have potential to provide reliable denominator values and track HMIS indicators with greater accuracy. The presentation outlines a model for an integrated health information and monitoring system in Nigeria.
