公衆衛生と公衆衛生機関におけるデータモダナイゼーションのパイオニア的インフォマティクスプロジェクトの統合におけるデータモダナイゼーションの実践：公衆衛生機関からのデータモダナイゼーションの物語

With data considered as the 'oxygen' of public health, the Data Modernization Initiative (DMI) to enhance the public health data and information infrastructure is critical. The DMI Stories from the Field features data modernization from public health agencies to highlight success/progress. These stories (n=241) were analyzed, with outbreak response, information systems capacity, epidemiology/laboratory capacity being some of the common topics. A total of 199 codes across DMI stories were organized into 7 themes and the top 3 codes were communication, collaboration and public health agencies. Key takeaways and next steps were identified and validated with expert input across people, product, process and partnership categories and people factor was critical along with funding/sustainability. Ongoing DMI stories and future studies for evaluating impact are recommended. DMI stories are a great option to communicate the projects and impact of DMI to a larger public audience and garner support for this vital endeavor.
