Informatics in plain language using analogies to logistics, architecture, and translation

The Public Health FHIR Playbook is designed by the Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) to help state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies successfully implement FHIR, a standard for electronic health data exchange. PHFIC developed the Playbook to describe FHIR, its policy context, and steps that enable successful FHIR implementation at public health agencies.

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.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.
