Ad Hoc Task Force on Electronic Health Record-Public Health

The Consortium launched an initiative to form an Ad Hoc Task Force on EHR-PH as a follow-up to the PHDSC/AMIA-2003 session, “The Future of Public Health Vocabulary and Public Health Data Standards, which was held at the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual Symposium-2003. The goal of this initiative is to bring perspectives from the state and local public health agencies and public health research community to the on-going effort on development of the HL7 functional model for the EHR.

Description

The Ad Hoc Task Force: EHR-PH Committee's recent work culminated in a White Paper entitled "Electronic Health Record: Public Health Perspectives." The purpose of the White Paper is (1) to communicate to the public health community a need for broader involvement in the national effort to standardize clinical and public health data and systems and (2) to describe public health perspectives on the EHR.
