Public health informatics is the systematic application of data, technology, and information systems to public health practice and research. By digitizing health care records, systems, and processes, informatics can help to improve public health and overall health outcomes.
In this webinar, developed in partnership between the Washington State Department of Health and the University of Washington School of Public Health, learn how informatics is changing public health in Washington state.
Hear from a panel of state and local public health professionals about why they participated in an informatics assessment survey. They will share insights and concrete steps they plan to take to implement informatics into their work, including system planning, health data standards and integration, data privacy and security, visualization, analysis, and reporting. Come prepared to ask questions!
