Health and Disease Information Systems

What we do: 
  • Doctor LaptopDesign and build one time and ongoing data collection systems for monitoring or assessing critical health care issues
  • Analyze and report on data collected by these applications for program policy, implementation and management decisions
Service Components:
  1. Design and build health information systems that tie disparate databases together in a meaningful way for policy and program decisions
  2. Conduct requirements gathering and planning for health related information systems
  3. Design, conduct, analyze health related surveys (web, telephone, face to face) for policy and program planning and evaluation
Projects:
  • Respiratory Health Indicators for Maine (RHIME)
  • Environmental Public Health Tracking Network for Maine BOH 
  • Web based survey instrument for community-associated MRSA
  • Boston Logan Health Study

History:
The advent of personal computer has resulted in data systems that are not standardized.  Organizational and governmental units collect and monitor health related program data in a vacuum, in disparate systems.  It is very difficult to discern patterns in health status and disease when we have islands of data and the islands cannot communicate in the same language.
