The Challenge….
If public health as a field is to become more effective, public health professionals need timely, quality information, better ways to communicate data and information, and better tools to analyze new information. (Friede et al., 1995).
![Page 4: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Public Health Needs
Much of what we do in public health is based on the data and information we gather, analyze and disseminate.
Efficient access to this data is vital to develop sound public health policy and programs to ensure the health of the nation, and the world.

Tenerife Air Disaster
March 27, 1977: Two Boeing 747 airliners, from Pan-Am and KLM, collided on the island of Tenerife, killing 583 people
Causes: Non-standard messages for take-off between KLM pilot and control tower, squelched radio messages
Led to sweeping reforms including use of English standard phrases between pilots and control towers

Public Health Informatics
Public health informatics is the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research and learning.
![Page 29: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What in informatics is important to
epidemiologists?
Data standards
Vocabulary standards
Messaging standards
Technology standards
Interoperability
Data models Relational databases
![Page 30: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Top 5 reasons why informatics is important to
epidemiologists
4. Increased need to share data and information in outbreak and emergency situations – efficiently and effectively
– West Nile– Hurricanes
5. Increased reporting and accountability– Programmatic goals management
![Page 31: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Top 5 reasons why informatics is important to
epidemiologists
3. Increased use of technology– Electronic health records– Electronic laboratory systems– Communication systems– Digital technology
![Page 32: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Top 5 reasons why informatics is important to
epidemiologists
2. It can make your life easier– Less duplication of data collection effort– Data usually takes less cleaning to be useful
(especially when structured data entry is used)
– Standardized datasets can be merged easier– Organized and structured datasets are easier
to use and validate– Controlled vocabularies clarify meanings (less
ambiguous)
![Page 33: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Top 5 reasons why informatics is important to
epidemiologists
1. We can do it the hard way or the right way, but either way the application of information technology to public health practice is inevitable
(P. O’Carroll, 2002).
![Page 34: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Health Information Standards
Building blocks of effective information systems
Essential for efficient and effective public health and health care delivery systems
Foundation upon which innovations in health IT are built
![Page 35: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Setting the stage…
The first two topics provided the groundwork– Why standards are important?– What are public health informatics standards?
Next Step: – What is the Public Health Information
Network (PHIN)?– How can it be useful to HDHHS?

What is PHIN?
CDC’s vision for advancing:– Information systems
• located in the many organizations that participate in public health
• making them “fully capable” and “interoperable”
![Page 39: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What is PHIN?
Given the vision for PHIN:–A framework is needed that has:
• Selection of relevant information standards
• Description of minimal IT system capabilities
• Development of standardized applications (software)
![Page 40: Data systems web_integration_v0 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555d8c1cd8b42a6c3d8b540f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What is PHIN?
