CDC-RFA-OE20-20010101SUPP20: Enhancing Public Health Laboratory Capabilities and Increasing Capacity

Supplemental Project Proposal Appendix D: Informatics

Appendix E: Informatics

Focus Area Name: Informatics

Focus Area Contact Information Jasmine Chaitram, zoa6@cdc.gov Jason Hall, zfr9@cdc.gov

1. General Information

Project Name Informatics – Policy and Membership Activities

Project Activity Contact Information Jasmine Chaitram

Approximate Amount of Supplemental Funding Available $250,000

2. Project Description

I. Purpose

To create a collaborative environment of members and key public health partners to address informatics policy and program issues.

II. Justification

III. Identification of need

Key areas to address include:

- collaborative epi-lab informatics position statement with CSTE

- an APHL-hosted Public Health Informatics Policy Center in collaboration with APHL’s Public

Policy team, whereby members and stakeholders can access informatics policy and legal resources and share their thoughts on informatics policy-related issues

- coordinated public health comments in response to national health IT legislation and rules impacting the public health informatics community (as made available for comment to the public)

- tracking the development of the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information

Technology (ONC HIT) Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA)

- support and continue engagement of an Informatics Committee that will advise on and inform

Informatics program goals and activities to support the APHL, its membership and the CDC.

- participation in the CDC Informatics Governance Workgroup to coordinate, prioritize, and better understand CDC’s informatics needs.

- convene the Public Health Informatics Infrastructure Workgroup; a board-led effort that will use the CDC Data Strategy as a reference tool and develop a draft model for an ideal PHL informatics infrastructure at the national, state, and local level.

IV. New or expanded project

Continuation and expansion of existing APHL informatics activities.

3. Outcomes

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following proximal outcomes:

PO-1. Improved collaboration and communication across public health laboratories and other stakeholders

PO-2. Improved awareness and understanding of public health laboratories among public and other stakeholders

PO-3. Improved support among policymakers and other stakeholders

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following intermediate outcomes:

IO-1. Established communities of practice and other collaborative relationships among and between laboratories and other stakeholders

IO-2. Established information sharing systems across public health laboratories and with key stakeholders

Activities in this project should contribute to the following long-term outcome:

Improved effectiveness of public health laboratories, individually and as components of a national system

4. Strategies and Activities

List specific strategies, activities, and process measures

Strategy/Activity Process Measure

S2.1 Provide policy and issues analysis to support public health laboratory interests.

S2.2/2.3 Collaborate and build relationships among laboratory professionals and other stakeholders in public health, healthcare and beyond.

5. Budget

CELS/DLS project officers will provide budget spreadsheet for APHL to complete for requested funds by object class category

By submitting this project plan, I certify that my CIO currently does not maintain a comparable NOFO for similar activities and the proposed use of funds is consistent with the appropriation.
