Genomics, and precision health approaches such as big data science and machine learning have emerged as important tools for public health. Those entering the public health and medical workforces must keep pace with these evolving fields to maximize the benefit to public health. Recognizing this need, ORISE is partnering with the Office of Genomics and Precision Public Health at the CDC to offer a two-day enrichment event covering the latest developments in these fields. The course is a series of 15-60 minute lectures, grouped by topic, with learning objectives for each lecture.

Reframing Public Health Informatics is a collection of evidence-based framing recommendations and sample communications designed to help the public health workforce talk about informatics—what it is, how it works, and why its contributions are so important to achieving the goal of improved population health.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Interoperability and HL7 Basics. Goes over key concepts related to the characteristics of IIS data quality, how it's measured, examples of issues, and strategies for improvements.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Data Quality and HL7 Basics. Goes over the concepts of data exchange between IIS and other systems.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Data Quality and Interoperability. Goes over the HL7 V2 standard, why it's used for immunization messaging, what the impacts are on IIS, and IIS responsibilities related to HL7.

Exploration of conformance, constraints, and message profiles

Immunization Evaluation and Forecasting; how it works, how forecasting functionality is implemented, and how the rules are maintained/tested in an IIS

Allows public health laboratories to assess strengths and gaps in informatics capability by addressing 19 critical operational areas

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a result” as data and results move through the laboratory and outside the laboratory. Topics covered include characterization of the recipients of laboratory data, data and results storage, and the communication of data and results (especially electronically) to various stakeholders

This basic-level eLearning course provides an overview of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) – also known as a Laboratory Information System – and other information systems that play a key role in laboratory informatics. Included in the course are explorations of LIMS functionality, the role of the LIMS in interoperability, various regulations and standards regarding information systems and laboratory data, and the steps in implementing a LIMS.

Guidance for initiating and sustaining this project and outlines steps needed to set up electronic messaging with partners

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a specimen” as a specimen moves through the laboratory. Topics covered include the roles of various personnel in the laboratory informatics enterprise, data relationships, data quality, and standards, and the generation and flow of information as a specimen progresses through the pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases.
