Strengthening the Technical Advancement & Readiness of Public Health via Health Information Exchange Program

This program provides an opportunity to strengthen and expand the ability of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) to support public health agencies in communities and states. There is a clear need for new data and new approaches for public health programs, including approaches made possible by modern computing. For example, case investigation and contact tracing can be augmented by new data and new approaches to better identify the sources of a disease and help prevent additional outbreaks.
