Held by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the conference is a venue for groundbreaking discussions and opportunities to address the science of public health informatics, evolving public health systems, and public health’s role in our nation’s expanding health information technology (IT) infrastructure.

This year’s theme is “Access, Analysis, Action” and will explore how to procure technology and best obtain data for the end-user; connect attendees with tools and support available to understand the meaning of data; and drive attendees to apply lessons learned about the application of data in their own profession and community.

Objectives:

  • Identify the current state of public health informatics capabilities and capacities at the federal, state, and local level.

  • Describe the best practices and core informatics competencies to improve the public health informatics workforce.

  • Apply innovative use cases of public health and clinical data to improve health outcomes.

  • Identify opportunities to engage with national stakeholders on federal guidance and policy issues that will impact the future of state and local public health informatics.

  • Demonstrate best practices for public health leadership seeking to incorporate informatics into their agency’s strategy.
