In the Spotlight How to Join the PHDSC

Purpose

The Communication and Outreach Committee is responsible for developing and executing strategies for marketing and disseminating the activities and products of the Consortium. Through various means, including print and electronic media (e.g., the Web), educational and conference opportunities, and focused outreach, the Committee seeks to promote the Consortium's stature as a premier educational resource to its members and prospective members, and the public health and healthcare community in general.

Description of Activities

The Communication and Outreach Committee is developing strategies to market the Consortium and its products. Potential venues include educational webcasts as well as the production of a Consortium newsletter to disseminate information on Consortium activities and other developments in the arena of public health data standards. To promote the PHDSC, the Committee also plans to explore and implement strategies for increasing awareness about the Consortium, including media coverage.

A major information dissemination tool of the Consortium is the organization’s website and the Web-Based Resource Center (WRC). The WRC provides resources and guidance for local, State, and national organizations to participate in standards development activities, encourage adoption and improvement of existing standards, and to facilitate standards implementation. Activities from many different committees and projects of the Consortium are represented in the WRC.
