Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of the collection, compilation and dissemination of information on 35 communicable diseases in China's Sichuan Province, a computerized network has been established. In 1987 a microcomputer link was set up between the Provincial Health and Anti-epidemic Centre at Chengdu and the Health Information Centre in Beijing, and in 1990 a microcomputer network was established between Chengdu and the 21 prefectures in the province. Substantial progress in disease control is already apparent as a consequence of these developments.Keywords: Asia; China; Communicable Diseases; Computers; Data Collection; Data Reporting; Data Storage And Retrieval; Delivery Of Health Care; Developing Countries; Diseases; Eastern Asia; Epidemics; Health; Infections; Information; Information Processing; Management; Organization And Administration; Records; Research Methodology
