Abstract:
Infants undergo a series of preventive and therapeutic health interventions and activities. Typically, each activity includes collection and submission of data to a dedicated information system.

Efforts are underway to integrate information in these separate information systems. This requires specifying the core functions that integrated information systems must perform.
