Information management within the planning process

An effective information management is one of the most valuable assets of any organization, including public administration. Database integration from various municipal Information Systems is an essential tool for urban and strategic planning. The city of Curitiba, Brazil, has implemented several Information Systems to enhance its public services, from education to health care—most of these systems use several non-integrated personal smart cards to provide access to services. In this chapter we analyze some public Information Systems in use in Curitiba, and their inputs and outputs. We also advocate that the personal smart card already used in the metropolitan transportation system only as a fare collection card, is, among all others, the best option, from a technological and administrative standpoint, to integrate all municipal Information Systems, improving the effectiveness of public services and assisting for a comprehensive planning process.

✓ The President of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) discusses some matters of serious concern to neurosurgeons as they enter the last two decades of the 20th century. Some considerations derived from the long-range planning process of the Board of Directors of the AANS are described, along with goals and objectives which are designed to produce more consistent plans, actions, and information management. After a review of several published discussions of the dilemma of American physicians, there follows a challenge to neurosurgeons to look within themselves, to lay aside self-serving activities, and to rededicate themselves to the service of neurosurgical causes with the pursuit of excellence as their major goal.
