Sample PowerPoint Slides • These slides include: • Moveable/resizable icons and GIFs that symbolize the metaphors that are recommended for talking about public health informatics to many diverse audiences. • Guidance on how to use the metaphors to accomplish particular goals. • Sample definitions of public health informatics that incorporate the metaphors. • The slides are completely customizable for use in various types of presentations on informatics-related issues.
Public Health Informatics: Metaphor Icons Public Health Information Translation Public Health Data Logistics Public Health Knowledge Architects
What the metaphor says: Public health data come in many “languages,” and informaticians are specialists in the science of translation. The metaphor redirects thinking away from: • Informatics as Tools without Technicians • Informatics = Data + High Tech • Data and Information Are the Same Public Health Information Translation
[SAMPLE DEFINITION] Public health informatics is the science of determining accurate, efficient ways to translate among public health subfields’ many data “languages” to make them interpretable and usable across sectors. What is Public Health Informatics?

What the metaphor says: Just like the complex systems we depend on to ship and receive packages on time, wherever we are, informaticians design the complex systems that ensure people get the public health data “packages” they need, quickly and efficiently. The metaphor redirects thinking away from: Public Health Data Logistics • Fatalism • Black Box of Terminology • Systems Quantity Not Systems Quality
[SAMPLE DEFINITION] Public health informatics runs the logistics of public health data, designing complex systems that, like global shipping logistics, transmit data “packages” securely, to the correct place, and on time. What is Public Health Informatics?

What the metaphor says: Just as architects plan buildings with the needs of a community in mind, informaticians plan data systems that produce the information professionals need to make sound public health decisions. The metaphor redirects thinking away from: Public Health Knowledge Architects • Fatalism • Systems Quantity Not Systems Quality • Informatics as Tools without Technicians • Informatics = Data + High Tech
[SAMPLE DEFINITION] Public health informatics is a field that designs the blueprints for the complex data systems that keep information secure, usable, and responsive to public health’s needs. Informaticians are like knowledge architects of public health -- the information systems they build account for function, and local contexts. What is Public Health Informatics?
