  1. A Public Health Knowledge Management Repository that Includes Grey Literature Debra Revere myPublicHealth Project Center for Public Health Informatics University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA drevere at u.washington.edu

  2. Outline of talk Introduction to myPublicHealth Why myPublicHealth? Project goals Methods Results Conclusions & Further Work Questions 1

  3. Project Team Sherrilynne Fuller – PI, Co-Director CPHI Debra Revere – Research Coordinator Paul Bugni – Lead Software Engineer Liz Hillinghouse & Qui Yuan – Programmers Jim Wallace – IT Support Anne Turner – Workflow Lead Yuki Durham, Amy Harper, Ann Madhavan & Neil Rambo – Key Staff AnnMarie Kimball & John Kobayashi – Epidemiology Consultants Mark Oberle – Director, CPHI Naomi Wilson – Center Manager 2

  4. A Broad Interdisciplinary Field 3

  5. Public Health is unique in that it: 4

  6. Too Much Information + Too Little Relevant/Timely Information 5

  7. UW Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics Administrative Core A Epidemiology & Biostatistics Core B Surveillance Integration Project WA State Dept of Health WA State local health agencies Knowledge Management myPublicHealth Informatics Technology Core C Regional Health Information Organizations Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics Technology & Design Core C CEPHI’s Mantra “Improving the public’s health through information integration” 6

  8. myPublicHealth Goals A knowledge management system tailored to PH practitioners’ information needs, work processes & environment Improve access to & use of digital information resources in support of evidence-based PH practice 7

  9. Methods Literature review Inventory of info sources Survey of existing CMSs & tools Requirements Workflow analysis 8

  10. Task 1: Literature Review 1. Selection of info resources is influenced by job function, disciplines & training 2. PH wants resources that are easy to access & use, up-to-date, free, pre-digested & stable 3. One size does not fit all 4. People are the most reliable, available & commonly used resource 5. Trusted & authoritative content sources Revere D, Turner A, Madhavan A, Rambo N, Bugni PF, Kimball AM, Fuller SS. Understanding the information needs of public health practitioners: A literature review to inform design of an interactive digital knowledge management system. J of Biomedical Informatics 2007. To appear in Special Issue on Public Health Informatics. 9

  11. Task 2: Information Resources Inventory Sources/resources from literature review Preliminary workflow assessment Interviews & ad hoc suggestions Matrix is organized by user roles and resource content areas 10

  12. Task 3: CMS Survey “Local” Content Management & Access Systems: BioMediator Telemakus PrimeAnswers 11

  13. Task 3 con’t Open-source CMS survey Alfresco Plone WIKIs 12

  14. Task 4: Rapid Prototyping 13

  15. Task 4: Requirements System architecture Interface design Software components Testing plans 14

  16. Task 5: Workflow Analysis Just because you build it It doesn’t mean “they will” come 15

  17. Metadata Schema 16

  18. Prototype Role-based resources Toolkits Searching Version 2.3 http://myph.org/ 17

  19. Conclusions We believe that a state of the art public health knowledge management system that is integrated into a larger public health responses system will improve the efficacy and efficiency of locating and applying relevant information — regardless of “color” (black, white or grey) — to decision-making in public health practice. 18
