Brian Lee – Chief Public Health Info Officer – @leebrian

What are the biggest assets and hurdles?

Direct data collection from clinical sources and public surveillance at volumes that were never possible before.

Mortality – Is a statistical service.

It took months to capture death events.
Moving to electronic death reporting. Now get information in 10 days.
This adds a surveillance capability that was previously impossible.

Andy Krackov – Sr Program Officer – California Health Foundation @CHCF

It is hard to find the data, harvest, analyze data.

This is getting easier. This allows more time to put the data in to action.

Reducing C-Sections – Creating a story

Public Health wanted to make data real by providing a technology and templates. This allows health departments to create a story that is locally relevant. Creating an emotional connection due to the local relevance.

Health Departments are used to presenting data but not about creating and presenting a point of view.

San Diego are partnering with people on the ground who can provide the local color and relevance.

Lexie Komisar – Assistant Director, Digi Health andInnovation – Clinton Foundation @Lkombs
