In an earlier post I wondered whether public health’s siloed systems might not be more appropriately thought of as siloed data. But after attend a meeting of the Joint Public Health Informatics Taskforce (JPHIT) I am wondering whether the issue is really siloed workflow.
Categorical funding, insufficient resources, and lack of agency vision keep public health systems isolated and unintegrated – a phenomenon often referred to as “siloed” systems.
I recently came upon two pieces I had written on technology trends in the distant past. It’s kind of cool looking back at these, especially when I can find something familiar in something I wrote so long ago.
