Epidemiology & Informatics: Turning Data in Public Health Action
This presentation provides an overview of the pivotal role our Epidemiology and Informatics team plays in advancing our department’s mission. At its core, the team embodies two key public health functions: assessment and assurance. Their work is the essential foundation for understanding the health of our community and ensuring our efforts have a measurable, positive impact.
Our Core Functions
The Epidemiology and informatics team works collaboratively with program areas across the department to move from data to action. By analyzing health trends and program effectiveness, the team provides the insights needed to identify critical public health concerns – from communicable diseases and opioid prevention to injury and violence – and to strategically allocate resources where they are most needed. Our work ensures that every departmental effort is data-driven and directly contributes to improving population health.
