National Health Programs of India, 11th edition. Proceedings of HEALTHINF 2014 – International Conference on Health Informatics. An Ontological Map for Meaningful Use of Healthcare Information Systems (MUHIS). Ontological Meta-Analysis and Synthesis of HIPAA. This paper presents the first step in a program of research which can be used to analyse and direct healthcare policy globally, nationally, and locally. There is absence of frequent co-occurrence of the outcomes, except quality and accessibility. Yet, overall, almost all elements in the ontology find expression in at least one program/policy – an indicator of their extensive coverage. Conclusions: The coverage of the National Programs/Policies on healthcare, viewed through the lens of the ontology is patchy. Their secondary focus is on technology (18), personnel-staff (12), personnel-physician-specialist (7), and personnel-nurses (8). Results: In terms of the Focus, the dominant focus of the programs and policies is on information (30) and education (39), drugs (26), administration (31), finance (24), and treatment (28). They provide a synoptic, systematic, and systemic assessment of the policies while highlighting their emphases and biases. The ontological maps are constructed at different levels of granularity–monads and dyads. Methods: Using a logically constructed ontology based on the common body of knowledge as a lens, we map all the programs and policies to reveal the ‘bright’, ‘light’, and ‘blind/blank’ spots in them. Though they are meant to be inclusive and comprehensive the results are far from the desired vision. India has large number of national healthcare programs and sub-programs, policies, and legislations. Despite having the distinction of being one of the largest public healthcare delivery systems in the world, our health indicators reflect a grim picture in comparison to global targets. Background: The healthcare system in India is facing multitude of challenges owing to the changing epidemiology of health as well as diseases.
