A set of interactive gools to conduct self-assessments at a public health agency. Covers both informatics and interoperability.

Surveillance modernization efforts emphasize the potential use of electronic health record (EHR) data to inform public health surveillance and prevention. However, EHR data streams vary widely in their completeness, accuracy, and representativeness. This publication describes a validation process developed by the Multi-State EHR-Based Network for Disease Surveillance (MENDS) pilot project to identify and resolve data quality issues that could affect chronic disease prevalence estimates.

Reframing Public Health Informatics is a collection of evidence-based framing recommendations and sample communications designed to help the public health workforce talk about informatics—what it is, how it works, and why its contributions are so important to achieving the goal of improved population health.

Readiness assessment designed to increase state birth defects program capability to exchange electronic health information with clinical electronic health records systems (EHRs).

This training will focus on; Preparing for change; What is change management; Why is change management important; Who is involved in change management; and​ When do you address change management in an interoperability approach. In addition, in the second part of this webinar we will touch on the “how” of change management with some high-level strategies for approaching change management in interoperability work.
