Building data infrastructure to improve public health
Although the COVID-19 pandemic shed light on persistent infrastructure challenges in public health data, the public health data system is still not equipped to produce and exchange the real-time data necessary to respond to or prepare for emerging threats. Workforce depletion, underfunded systems, and other challenges all contribute to the difficulties of modernization.
A new Implementation Center Program, funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ’s Public Health Infrastructure Grant program, will address these challenges by bolstering vital public health data modernization efforts. The goal of the program is to improve the timely prevention and detection of public health threats by reducing the burden of data exchange between healthcare agencies, providers, and the communities they serve.
“This effort builds on the important investment that CDC is making into public health infrastructure, with the understanding that data modernization is not a one-time endeavor but rather an ongoing effort essential to the operation of modern, effective health departments.”
