Public Health Informatics

The capacity to use information is fundamental to all public health activities. Information management and communication are key parts of the infrastructure on which the public health system is built. Historically, public health information systems have been built using a "silo" approach—different information systems for different programs that cannot communicate with each other. The challenge for public health activities is to build integrated information systems that get the right information to the right people when they need it.
