Step 2: Quantify the IssueStep 2: Quantify the IssueInformation SystemsInformation Systems
Systems designed to store, organize, and retrieve data
Standards based in some but not all cases◦Internet protocols◦PHIN (Public Health Information Network)
National initiative, improve capacity of PH to use and exchange information electronically
◦Electronic medical records Vendor specific so transfer between systems
can be difficult

◦Birth and death statistics◦Reported to CDC & compiled regularly◦Limitations to mortality data
Chronic illnesses Multiple cases of death Lack of standardization of diagnosis criteria Stigmas attached to certain diseases Completeness of records Changes in ICD codes over time

Vital Statistics (cont’d)◦Limitations to birth data
Birth certificates have changed over time Ex: 1993-1994 birth data http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/charting/caveats.htm
Incomplete birth certificates Midwives in south Texas?
