世界卫生组织将卫生筹资定义为“与动员、积聚和分配资金有关的卫生系统职能，以满足卫生系统中个人和集体的卫生需求。” 卫生筹资包括三个主要组成部分，用于收入筹集、资金和风险汇总以及购买。医疗、卫生保健交付文档以及随后的数据共享的规定也与卫生部门筹资密切交织在一起。卫生数据的文档记录和共享对于偶发和纵向护理至关重要；这些数据构成了卫生筹资的信息基础。
该社区主要关注卫生购买者所需的功能和数据。（对于我们而言，卫生购买者是代表受保人群购买卫生保健产品、服务和干预措施的任何机构）。卫生购买者可包括卫生部、社会健康保险机构、特殊购买机构、地方或国家政府机关、其他部门（如国防部）、私人保险公司和基于社区的保险基金。如果需要，该社区可以优先考虑使用国家健康保险用例作为评估卫生筹资要求的基础。尽管如此，我们仍打算对任何与卫生筹资有关的情况保持开放态度。
