Public Health Data Mapping

The Public Policy Center has put together a comprehensive review of how public health information flows to/from community organizations (hospitals, clinics, schools, dentists, public health districts, etc.) to state and federal organizations.   The study was done as part of a HRSA Rural Network Development grant in Western Nebraska.

The information flows examined include:

  • Communicable Disease
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Nebraska Newborn Screening Program
  • Newborn Hearing Screening
  • Chronic Disease
  • Nebraska Cancer Registry
  • Nebraska Trauma Registry
  • Immunization

The report is very accessible and includes:

  • visual schematics of information flows
  • narrative of information flows
  • screen shots/forms through which information is collected
