Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services in Indian Country - IHC’s Strengthening Public Health Systems (SPHS) Project will update and strengthen the use of data from IHC’s current electronic health records (EHR) systems to expand data collection, storage, access and application of data outcome analytics to raise the overall health status of the tribal populations in the IHC service area. Using this evidence-based approach, SPSS will concentrate on the a) ability to easily integrate EHR data sources with descriptive and inferential predictive statistical modeling software, adjustment for confounders, stratification and visualization, b) expansion of the IHC workforce to provide continuous flexible monitoring and analyses of health trends at the tribal population level for strategic planning, development and reporting to appropriate outside agencies, and c) engage collaboration with local Southern California tribal communities into setting outcome priorities for tribally appropriate health education interventions, prevention of disease/injury and sustainably improved health status. The Outcome chosen for this application is “Improved capacity to develop public health programs and services to address prioritized public health activities in AI/AN communities.”
