Great session on "Public Health Data Modernization at the Local, State and Federal Level" yesterday at #ONC2023! Here are some of our top takeaways via Lea R., senior writer, Innsena:
- "Traditional barriers with data modernization like siloed funding and systems cannot remain the same. We’ve got to find new ways, thoughtfully and carefully, to make that change with everyone’s voice included.
"But we also have to recognize that we don’t have time to waste and that the window for success is limited. We’ve got to show the country and Congress that we can make progress and eliminate the barriers that have plagued us for the last 4-5 decades."
— J.T. Lane, chief population health and innovation officer, Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO)
- "The CDC has made progress over the last five years with the data modernization initiative. Before the pandemic, there were 187 facilities that were reporting case data through electronic means, and today there are 25,000.
"But we’re still far from the vision of a connected, resilient, adaptable, sustainable, response-ready public health data system, and CDC has been investing a lot in moving the needle forward."
— Abigail Viall, senior advisor for federal interagency strategic relations, Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
