CDC is a public health agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) • Comprised of 11 Centers, Institute, and Offices (CIOs)
Comprehensive Organization Information Centers, Institute, Offices National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
Centers, Institute, Offices(continued) National Immunization Program (NIP) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Epidemiology Program Office (EPO) Public Health Practice Program Office (PHPPO) Office of the Director
CDC’s major organization components are structured around various diseases, health conditions, or health risks. Others have cross-cutting responsibilities, and all CDC organizations bring their particular health and functional expertise together to address various health issues and threats. • For example: • NCCDPHP prevents premature death and disability from chronic diseases and promotes healthy personal behaviors.
CDC performs many of the administrative functions for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The Director of CDC also serves as the Administrator of ATSDR.
CITS is an IRMO project • Co-Project Officers located in IRMO • Technical Monitors located throughout the CIOs • IRMO works with the CIOs through Governance of Information Systems and Technology, e.g., committees, councils, boards, and work groups.
CIOs’ Working Relationship with IRMO • Partnering to improve the use of information technology for scientific and business systems • Provide leadership in the development of the agency’s information systems and technology architecture • Design, develop, and operate new or existing information systems or components • Increase the efficiency, the economy, and effectiveness of system development
CIOs’ Working Relationship with IRMO (continued) • Research, evaluate, develop, and operate the agency’s central IT infrastructure components and systems • Provide security, safety, reliability, and availability of data for CDC's information systems • Contribute systems expertise to agency teams as needed • IRM products and services for CDC’s infrastructure systems
Chief Technology Officers Committee (CTOC) • Senior IT manager located in each CIO • Serves as the primary focus for research, evaluation, selection, testing, and deployment of IT products • Develops IT architecture, standards, and procedures for IT infrastructure • Subcommittees or working groups under the CTOC address a variety of issues and activities, e.g., policy and standards development, IT product research, evaluation and selection, etc.
Informatics John W. Loonsk, M.D. Associate Director for Informatics Director, Information Resources Management Office
Medical Informatics - is the rapidly developing scientific field that deals with resources, devices and formalized methods for optimizing the storage, retrieval and management of biomedical information for problem solving and decision making. • Edward Shortliffe, M.D., Ph.D. Stanford University, 1995.
Public Health Informatics- deals with resources, devices and formalized methods for optimizing the storage, retrieval and management of information to facilitate Public Health problem solving and decision making. Bioinformatics– deals with resources, devices and formalized methods for gene sequencing and molecular modeling (a.k.a. computational biology).
Computerization (Stage II) - Informatics improving the way things are done on the basis of what technology affords enabled by, but not lead by, technology can do more - not always with less effort Computerization (Stage I) doing what has always been done, but putting it on a computer document imaging is an example Informatics Phylogeny
Informatics achieving a greater impact, developing new capabilities, creation of unintended, but not accidental results intersection of information systems and domain expertise sometimes involves organizational change Information Systems program specific applications, programming, databases, electronic “environments,” principally supports existing operations Infrastructure connectivity, wires, network electronics, computers, multimedia tools, “platforms” for development e-mail, web servers and browsers, productivity tools digital convergence Informatics Ontogeny
