Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S.
reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and
organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often
function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and
communication of public health-related data.
Common applications of public health IT to promote and
improve the health of populations include (but are not limited
to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization
tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these
applications can have a significant impact on the ability of
providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in
turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state
of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS
outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not
reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Prepare for this Application as follows:
Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health
information technology in public health and locate an example
in which the application was used to address a public health-
related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a
particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease
registry, prevention program, or other public health-related
event, and then identify the technology involved in this
activity.)
Find out how this application has impacted the public's health.
Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and
organizations were involved in the use of this information
technology.
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in
which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize
the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible
drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations
in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT
application.
Discuss other implications of this application for health care
providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it
impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other
health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response.
