	Agreements on informatics standards in public health is particularly challenging because of the diverse needs of the many groups who record and use health information, including care and cure providers (clinicians), payers, administrators, researchers, clients of the health system (patients) and of course the public health professionals. Most of the health coding systems and messaging standards currently in use have been designed as health administration and delivery systems data carriers and did not previously taken into account public health data modelling needs. Public health’s interests are not uniformly regarded as consistent with the business needs of other organizations.

			The fundamental goal of standardization in informatics is to enable, improve information exchange, and to make information transparent among people and among systems. Two areas are to be distinguished: '''(1) standardizing the content''': e.g. by code systems, nomenclatures, classifications, terminologies etc; '''(2) standardizing the systems''', that includes structures (model standards) and processes (message standards) standards. In practice, the most successful standards are the different code systems and the messaging standards. Standards have secondary advantages as well: They contribute to better quality, and they enable producers and service providers to have a larger market to supply: if your product works in more countries and if it can work together with a variety of different products (interoperability) then the market for such a product will be larger than when it does not comply to any standard. Various health informatics standards deal with additional aspects such as, e.g. security, quality, handling biosignals, interfacing devices, etc.

			Agreements on informatics standards in public health is particularly challenging because of the diverse needs of the many groups who record and use health information, including care and cure providers (clinicians), payers, administrators, researchers, clients of the health system (patients) and of course the public health professionals. Most of the health coding systems and messaging standards currently in use have been designed as health administration and delivery systems data carriers and did not previously taken into account public health data modelling needs. Public health’s interests are not uniformly regarded as consistent with the business needs of other organizations.
