An event for improving public health data!
The Public Health Informatics Program at the Regenstrief Institute invites you to learn about and share your work on data modernization efforts at state and local levels.
- Collaborate with public health agencies, health systems and research organizations tackling data collection, management and use challenges.
- Generate new ideas about solving public health data challenges to better serve and protect public health and well-being.
Call for Abstracts
We are currently accepting abstract submissions for breakout sessions related to data modernization advancements at local levels. We encourage local health departments to submit ‘Works-In-Progress’ of modernization efforts or data challenges, with the goal of generating conversation, sharing ideas, and gaining feedback from others in public health.
Other public health organizations are welcome to apply, but topics should emphasize applied public health challenges and solutions. Abstracts can be up to 250 words. Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes with up to 25 minutes for discussion.
