Designed to support the most desirable practices for enabling secure use of surveillance data for public health action and ensuring implementation of comprehensive evidence-based prevention services, the standards are based on 10 guiding principles that provide the foundation for the collection, storage, and use of these public health data. They address five areas: program policies and responsibilities, data collection and use, data sharing and release, physical security, and electronic data security. Intended for use by state and local health\u00a0department\u00a0disease programs to inform the development of policies and procedures, the standards are intentionally broad to allow for differences in public health activities and response across disease programs.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Health Data Utility Framework\u00a0<\/span><\/i>is intended to guide states, regions, HIEs, and community partners in the design and implementation of an HDU that provides deeper integration of health-related data to support public health and care delivery.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This toolkit walks agencies through the process of assessing their own informatics readiness and current state and then using that assessment to inform strengthening and strategic activities\u2013allowing them to scale up informatics capacity to meet the evolving needs of the modern public health landscape.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
