Education has always been a primary role of the PHDSC.
In 1999, the PHDSC’s Education Work Group oversaw the development of an education strategy
Goals included: Make the case for data standards in public health
Identify audiences for educational outreach
Identify partners to develop content and implement plan
Identify relevant state level databases and applicable standards
Identify and prioritize types of educational products needed
Formulate a plan for developing and implementing the education strategy
Serve as a vehicle to attract funding

Its strategy consists of progressive phases that can occur simultaneously

In the last 3 years, progress has been made on building partnerships…
Phase I: Build Partnerships/Educate Constituencies Developing and strengthening educational partnerships
– e.g., ASTHO, CSTE,* APHL,* NAHDO,* NACCHO,* NALBOH, AcademyHealth and the Public Health Informatics Institute*
Coordinating educational activities with CDC,* PHIN
Securing funding– e.g., HRSA interagency agreement
Reaching out to other members and partners to build upon, complement, or showcase on-going educational activities
– e.g., AMIA

…as well as supporting standards development and implementation.
Phases II and III: Participate in Standards Development and Support Implementation Developed and maintain a Web-based Resource Center
(WRC)
Posting brief summaries for public health staff, health services researchers and the public on what they need to know about national standards development efforts
– e.g., Public Health Data Standards Tutorial, privacy case studies
Engaging the public health community around particular data system
– e.g., hospital discharge data, injury data
Created an implementation guide for selected standards– e.g., Health Care Services: Data Reporting guide
6
Educational activities to pursue in the future may include the following.
Phase I: Build Partnerships/Educate Constituencies Launch a campaign to raise awareness and motivate
participation
Make a personal appeal to key audiences, e.g., State Health Officers
Continue to leverage partnerships– e.g., NLM,* APHA , ASPH, eHealth Initiative,* Massachusetts
Health Data Consortium*
Phase II: Participate in Standards Development Recruit and train public health representatives to serve on
SDOs
Phase III: Support Implementation Create an implementation toolbox

The WRC is a primary way to meet public health’s data standards education needs

Educating PHDSC stakeholders about the importance of data standards is not easy
Broad target audience with varying needs
Lack of funding
Competing priorities
Complex topic
9
New content and marketing have been the foci of the 2nd generation site 1st generation development was informed by a survey
of data standards educational needs
2nd generation development involves: Limited discussions with users about current and future
needs– Users included local public health staff, leaders of state
associations, vendor
New content– Migration of content from Web sites hosted by NCHS & NAHDO– Updated tutorials and Web sites– New papers, presentations, privacy and other case studies– New SDO content– Online form to assess needs and satisfaction
Marketing plan
10
The mission of the WRC is to be a hub for important and timely information exchange
To create a Web-based tool and hub used by federal, state, and local policymakers, researchers, and other
stakeholders to exchange educational materials and to share ideas relating to public health data standards
development and implementation over the course of two years.
To create a “buzz” regarding the Public Health Data Standards Consortium (PHDSC) Web-based Resource
Center (WRC) as an important and timely source of critical information throughout the data standards community and
as a means to highlight the work of individuals and organizational PHDSC members working to facilitate and
promote the use of data standards to further public health goals.
11
Marketing goals for the next two years are to raise awareness and use of the site
Increase in awareness and first-time use of the Web-based Resource Center
Increase in use of the Web-based Resource Center by new and returning users
Solicitation of contributions and feedback from Web-based Resource Center users
Expansion of PHDSC membership through the Web-based Resource Center
12
Specific activities are planned or underway
Examples of short-term (within two months) activities Encourage meeting participants to include a link to the WRC
on their organization’s Web site Conduct routine maintenance Demonstrate benefits of membership
Examples of long-term (within two years) activities Have PHDSC members or prominent stakeholders advertise
the site at major conferences Hire a Web Master Scan environment regularly via Committees or other means
to identify gaps in content and fill them Establish infrastructure to allow users to submit content Provide users with a way to participate in PHDSC activities
via the site

PHDSC Committees and members should use the WRC to showcase and share results
