Title:
Healthcare and Public Health Data Interoperability: Collaboratively Moving Forward
Description:
The mission of CDC’s Office of Public Health Surveillance, Data, and Technology (OPHDST) is to provide the services, expertise, and support to optimize timely access, exchange, and integration of public health data while driving efficiency and consolidation of data and technology systems supported by CDC across all levels of public health and advancing open data and dissemination to inform decision making and action. In collaboration with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the OPHDST is leading crosscutting efforts to modernize CDC’s systems, tools, technology, and data strategy. These efforts will streamline routine and emerging public health data exchange between CDC and state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments to support timely public health interventions. The OPHDST’s Data Policy and Standards Division (DPSD) will specifically focus on developing new standards and approaches for public health reporting that will give public health agencies access to timely and rich data to support public health surveillance and disease prevention and control activities. This panel will highlight the collaboration and the current efforts related to public health data interoperability.
