New Module Added to the PHDSC Web-based Resource: Public Health Participation in Health IT Standardization
January 6, 2012
The PHDSC has launched a new Module, Public Health Participation in Health IT Standardization designed to address barriers for public health participation in the national HIT standardization efforts. This is the third Module in the PHDSC Web-based Resource Center, Public Health in HIT Standardization. The Web-based Resource Center also contains the HIT Standards Resources Module and the HIT Adoption Stories Module. These Modules are aimed to support the implementation of the PHDSC’s Coordinated Public Health Action Plan on HIT Standards developed as a part of the PHDSC Business Case: Role of Public Health in National HIT Standardization. The new Module will help public health professionals and clinicians to navigate through and participate in the national HIT standardization entities and their activities. The Module describes: Why participate? Where should public health participate? What public health interests should be brought to the HIT standardization table? Who should participate? How should public health participation be coordinated? How much does participation cost and how can it be funded?
