Book Description
What GAO found: Although significant work remains, federal agencies have made progress on major public health IT initiatives. These initiatives include one broad initiative at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)--known as the Public Health Information Network (PHIN)--which is intended to provide the nation with integrated information systems, and two initiatives at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which are focused on biosurveillance ... CDC's PHIN initiative has made progress by establishing communications systems and promoting standards, but more work remains on associated surveillance systems. For example, public health officials told GAO that they did not find PHIN's BioSense application useful because of limitations in the data currently collected. DHS also has major initiatives related to public health, both of which are in development. In addition, a system associated with one of the DHS initiatives--BioWatch--has been deployed. BioWatch, an early-warning environmental monitoring system that collects air samples in order to detect trace amounts of biological materials, recently underwent modification to solve an interoperability problem: its three IT components required redundant data entry in order to communicate with each other. According to DHS, it has developed a solution to this interoperability problem and implemented it at two locations; DHS plans to install that solution in the remaining BioWatch locations.
