Health Informatics and Public Health Leadership
Consider the example of the bubonic plague in the Introduction.
How might shared information on the geographic representation
of the disease have changed the course of diagnosis and even
treatment? Perhaps physicians of that time would have been
able to discover that cities with large rodent populations also
had a high incidence of the plague, which might have helped
them to pinpoint the source of the disease sooner. Or perhaps
they would have been able to better trace the direction of the
plague from one regional area to another, or the demographics
of the individuals who tended to get it. Today, public health
organizations are fortunate to have at their disposal a wealth of
information systems that serve as essential public health tools.
These systems are used to guide public health decisions on
everything from epidemiologic disease and risk factor
surveillance to facility billing and records to policy
development. The need for information is not so much the issue
as the usability of the data. Thus, well-designed information
systems are key to managing the data and organizing it into
relevant information. Public health organizations heavily rely
on such systems to inform managerial decision making and
improve operations, planning, policy analysis, health outcomes
assessment, epidemiologic surveillance, and program evaluation
and performance measurement.
One type of health data analysis tool is a geographic
information system (GIS). The CDC (n.d.-c) defines GIS as “a
collection of science and technology tools used to manage
geographic relationships and integrate information. GIS helps
us analyze spatially-referenced data and make well-informed
decisions based on the association between the data and the
geography.”
A system is only as good as the leadership applied to it,
however. How might public health administrators best use their
leadership skills to manage data and informatics in a strategic
way that benefits the organization and its stakeholders and
constituents?
For this week’s Discussion, review the Learning Resources.
Reflect on the media, especially the piece titled
Public Health Informatics
regarding how individuals in the Howard County Health
Department employed the use of GIS and other health
informatics in their daily work.
For your identified public health problem for your Final Project,
conduct research using health information systems (HISs) and
health information management (HIM). Refer to Table 14.2 in
your textbook and the GIS section on the CDC’s website.
Post by Day 3
a brief
(2–3 paragraphs)
description of specific health or health-related issues at a
county level from the data gleaned from one these sites. From a
leader’s perspective, how would you apply geographic
information systems (GIS) technology in evaluating health
issues, such as equity and impact? Then, explain how health
informatics technology functions to inform and support the
strategic planning process. Be specific and provide examples.
Remember to begin interaction with your colleagues in the
Discussion no later than
Day 5
and
continue
engaging through
Day 7
by expanding on their suggestions for applications of
geographic information systems technology. Provide another
angle to a colleague’s use of GIS in conducting health impact
assessments and provide your rationale.
Support your work with specific citations from this week's
Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as
appropriate. Refer to the
Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students
to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are
correct.

Health Informatics and Public Health LeadershipConsider the exampl.docx

  • 1. Health Informatics and Public Health Leadership Consider the example of the bubonic plague in the Introduction. How might shared information on the geographic representation of the disease have changed the course of diagnosis and even treatment? Perhaps physicians of that time would have been able to discover that cities with large rodent populations also had a high incidence of the plague, which might have helped them to pinpoint the source of the disease sooner. Or perhaps they would have been able to better trace the direction of the plague from one regional area to another, or the demographics of the individuals who tended to get it. Today, public health organizations are fortunate to have at their disposal a wealth of information systems that serve as essential public health tools. These systems are used to guide public health decisions on everything from epidemiologic disease and risk factor surveillance to facility billing and records to policy development. The need for information is not so much the issue as the usability of the data. Thus, well-designed information systems are key to managing the data and organizing it into relevant information. Public health organizations heavily rely on such systems to inform managerial decision making and improve operations, planning, policy analysis, health outcomes assessment, epidemiologic surveillance, and program evaluation and performance measurement. One type of health data analysis tool is a geographic information system (GIS). The CDC (n.d.-c) defines GIS as “a collection of science and technology tools used to manage geographic relationships and integrate information. GIS helps us analyze spatially-referenced data and make well-informed decisions based on the association between the data and the geography.” A system is only as good as the leadership applied to it, however. How might public health administrators best use their leadership skills to manage data and informatics in a strategic way that benefits the organization and its stakeholders and
  • 2. constituents? For this week’s Discussion, review the Learning Resources. Reflect on the media, especially the piece titled Public Health Informatics regarding how individuals in the Howard County Health Department employed the use of GIS and other health informatics in their daily work. For your identified public health problem for your Final Project, conduct research using health information systems (HISs) and health information management (HIM). Refer to Table 14.2 in your textbook and the GIS section on the CDC’s website. Post by Day 3 a brief (2–3 paragraphs) description of specific health or health-related issues at a county level from the data gleaned from one these sites. From a leader’s perspective, how would you apply geographic information systems (GIS) technology in evaluating health issues, such as equity and impact? Then, explain how health informatics technology functions to inform and support the strategic planning process. Be specific and provide examples. Remember to begin interaction with your colleagues in the Discussion no later than Day 5 and continue engaging through Day 7 by expanding on their suggestions for applications of geographic information systems technology. Provide another angle to a colleague’s use of GIS in conducting health impact assessments and provide your rationale. Support your work with specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students
