Week 3 informatics public health
Imagine that you are a public health nurse, and you and your colleagues have determined that the threat of a deadly new strain of influenza indicates a need for a mass inoculation program in your community. What public health data would have been used to determine the need for such a program? Where would you locate public health data? What data will be collected to determine the success of such a program? How might you communicate this to other communities or internationally?

Using the instructions above, let’s begin a discussion on how we can use data to assist us in finding out the information we need and communicating it effectively.

From a public health reference, having clear and efficient communication is the dividing line between success and failure during a public health emergency (Dickman, McClelland, Gamhewage, Portela de Souza, & Apfel, 2015). From this, we can deduce that having the appropriate tools and methods for effective communication is vital in providing positive patient outcomes. Ensuring we have the right protocol or plan to communicate critical data is a focus and we will be exploring that this week.

I would like to you to also see what informatics can do for the community program. How can informatics help with the plan and make it successful?

Can you please include this reference?
