| The purpose of this session is to disseminate and discuss evidence based research on public health informatics and how corresponding tools, processes, and practices promote health and/or prevent disease, injury, or disability and protect people from health threats including infectious, environmental, and terrorist threats. Public Health Informatics is an interdisciplinary field of research and practice including, but not limited to: • Electronic health record support of public health functions; • Use of health care, population and other public health data in supporting public health systems and analyses; • Basic capabilities that support public health practice such as statistical and health surveillance; • Public health decision support. Empirical research in public health informatics will lead to major scientific advances in knowledge, implementation and new applications to promote effective public health practice. | |||
| Learning Objectives: The objective of this session is to encourage discussion of innovative research and programs linking recent advances in evidence-based public health intervention, informatics, systems development, information processes, and computational science to develop informatics capabilities and improve the public's health. After attending this session, participants will: • Be able to define Public Health Informatics and understand its importance in advancing public health research and practice. • Become fully aware of the major public health informatics activity in the US and Internationally. • Be able to identify standard health informatics and information technology tools (HIIT) used in the practice of public health informatics. • Understand the linkages among government, local and/or state public health departments, and developing Regional Health Information Organizations within a public health information network. • Become aware of the multidisciplinary research that will lead to major scientific advances in knowledge, implementation and new applications in public health informatics to promote effective public health practice. | |||
