PROJECT TITLE :

An infrastructure for real-time population health assessment and monitoring

ABSTRACT :

The fragmented nature of population health data may be a barrier to public health observe. Despite repeated demands by policymakers, administrators, and practitioners to develop data systems that give a coherent view of population health standing, there was restricted progress toward developing such an infrastructure. We are making an informatics platform for describing and monitoring the health status of a outlined population by integrating multiple clinical and administrative information sources. This infrastructure, which involves a population health record, is intended to enable development of detailed portraits of population health, facilitate monitoring of population health indicators, enable analysis of interventions, and provide clinicians and patients with population context to help diagnostic and therapeutic decision-creating. As well as supporting public health professionals, clinicians, and the public, we are designing the infrastructure to provide a platform for public health informatics research. This early report presents the necessities and design for the infrastructure and describes the initial implementation of the population health record, that specialize in indicators of chronic diseases connected to obesity.
