Overview of Institute Programs

The Public Health Informatics Institute directs a number of programs aimed at improving the use of information technology in public health.  Toward this end, we apply our understanding of public health processes and the program needs to support the design and use of appropriate systems. In support of these programs, we bring together experts in public health, health information systems, and informatics to establish a new paradigm for developing health information systems.

Our primary clients are government agencies and foundations who share our commitment to the betterment of public health and community health through technology. For every program and project, we apply methods designed to foster effective health information systems through collaboration,
innovation and action.
