Public and Population Health Informatics: Bridging of Big Data to Benefit Communities
Isolated electronic health data is a large problem.
By being able to manage data and share the outcomes, can improve the overall health outcomes while maintaining cost efficiency.
"Digital Bridge" which was a project that was pushed to ensure data exchanges between health care and public health data collections.
Public Health Information: the systematic application of information, computer science, and technology to public health practice, research, and learning.
Socio-Technical Infrastructure and Research
Scotland is doing very well in this area, they have linked multiple agency sources to access the health of children that were in the responsibility of the jurisdiction.
Data sharing is important to ensure that public health officials can monitor the impact of communicable diseases, potential environmental triggers, and chronic diseases.
Digital Bridge can help with surveillance methods
this has also been helpful in relating how social determinants of health like to medical outcomes and situations.
these examples being environment risks and hazards, neighborhood crime and safety, and quality of housing.
Evidence Based Public Health
P.E.R.I.E
Problem: what is the health problem?
Etiology: what is and are the contributory causes
Recommendations: what works to reduce the health impacts?
Implementations: How can we get the job done?
Evaluation: how well does the interventions work in practice?
Burden of disease: the occurrence of disability and death due to a disease
course of disease: how often the disease occurs and how likely it is to be present currently, what happens once it occurs?
distribution of disease: who gets it? Where are they located? when?
Ex. Lung Cancer
burden of disease is high because its high mortality rate.
Group association led to it being discovered that cigarretes led to lung cancer
risk factor: when a cause can be associated with a disease.
Strength of relationship: interested in knowing how closely related the risk factor is to the disease
Primary intervention: appear before the disease is in place Aim is prevention.
Secondary: occur after the development of the disease factor, but before symptoms appear
Tertiary: after the disease is discovered
