Objectives:Public health professionals rely on quantitative data for the daily practice of public health as well as organizational decision making and planning. However, several factors work against effective data sharing among public health agencies in the US. This review characterizes the reported barriers and enablers of effective use of public health IS from an informatics perspective.Methods:A systematic review of the English language literature for 2005 to 2011 followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) format. The review focused on immunization information systems (IIS) and vital records information systems (VRIS). Systems were described according to the structural aspects of IS integration and data quality.Results:Articles describing IIS documented issues pertaining to the distribution of the system, the autonomy of the data providers, the heterogeneous nature of information sharing as well as the quality of the data. Articles describing VRIS were focused much more heavily on data quality, particularly whether or not the data were free from errors.Conclusions:For state and local practitioners to effectively utilize data, public health IS will have to overcome the challenges posed by a large number of autonomous data providers utilizing a variety of technologies.

“…The most number of manuscripts were affiliated with a university (n = 16), 12,16,17,19,20,24,25,27,[32][33][34]36,40,41,48,55 followed by affiliations with a health department (n = 9). 14,20,22,30,31,38,46,47,49 Other affiliations included the CDC (n = 8), 18 want to use the IIS data for research purposes could be advised to seek such a relationship. There are other possible barriers to the use of IIS data, including concerns regarding confidentiality, data quality and budget constrictions, but further research is needed in this area.…”

“…This too creates complications as increasing the number of IS which an individual must use increases the complexity of work and negatively affects productivity [12]. Also, that insufficient or non-interoperable IS can have negative effects on the ability of public health organizations to effectively plan, respond in a timely manner to events, or operate efficiently [18-20]. In fact, evidence indicates the inability to electronically transmit or receive data is the norm for many public health activities [21].…”

ObjectiveData collection and management by local health departments (LHDs) is a complex endeavor, complicated by system level and organizational factors. The purpose of this study was to describe the processes and use of information systems (IS) utilized for data collection, management, and sharing by LHD employees.MethodsWe interviewed a purposive sample of 12 staff working in the key public health practice areas of communicable disease control, immunizations, and vital records from three LHDs in different states. Our interview questions addressed job descriptions, daily activities, and the use and perceptions of both data and IS in support of their work. A content analytic approach was used to derive themes and categories common across programmatic areas.ResultsLocal public health involves the use of mix of state-supplied and locally implemented IS supported by paper records. Additionally, each LHD in this study used at least one shadow system to maintain a duplicate set of information. Experiences with IS functionality and the extent to which it supported work varied by programmatic area, but inefficiencies, challenges in generating reports, limited data accessibility, and workarounds were commonly reported.ConclusionsCurrent approaches to data management and sharing do not always support efficient public health practice or allow data to be used for organizational and community decision making. Many of the challenges to effective and efficient public health work were not solely technological. These findings suggest the need for interorganizational collaboration, increasing organizational capacity, workflow redesign, and end user training.
