Health Information Management Systems and Surveillance
Introduction
The ability of health agencies to collect, analyze, and make effective use of health information is critical to the success of health agency functions. PIHOA’s Regional HIMS Initiative aims to assist member jurisdictions to improve the collection and use of data for planning and decision-making processes across a variety of domains, including but not limited to: vital statistics, community-based surveys, medical records, including electronic health records (EHRs), disease registries, administrative data and IT networks. This initiative was established by the PIHOA Board in 2010 and continues to be an integral aspect of PIHOA’s on-going work.
Current Activities
Current efforts are focused on: 1) supporting and administering the USAPI NCD Core Monitoring and Surveillance and Monitoring Framework, including on-going technical support to USAPI health agencies to develop and implement their national/state-level NCD Monitoring and Evaluation Plans, Annual NCD Profiles, and NCD Data Dashboards, and conduct national NCD Hybrid Surveys ;
