Title: Dallas County Public Health Disease Surveillance and Investigation System
Description: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed existing gaps in public health disease surveillance and investigation infrastructure and posed new challenges for public health systems. In Dallas, three critical needs were identified: management of increase in data volume without sacrificing data quality, ability to conduct large-scale contact tracing to understand and control spread and improve disease investigation workflows to reduce the burden placed on public health professionals. To address these needs, Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) employed trusted enterprise-level software, including Salesforce, Informatica MDM, MuleSoft, Rhapsody, and Power BI. All these technologies were brought together to craft a seamless solution with streamlined user experience. These tools are adaptable and scalable, improving Dallas County’s long-term preparedness to address future threats more readily. As industry-leading technologies, they also provide Dallas County security and peace of mind when it comes to data security.
This session will walk attendees through the process that Dallas County underwent to modernize their workflows with these software’s and how they addressed those three critical needs.
