Abstract
Public health organizations in different nations face similar needs for gathering and analyzing population health data to detect and manage infectious disease outbreaks, including outbreaks of the 2009 Novel H1N1 Influenza A virus or "swine flu." This paper presents our progress to date on the design and assessment of a multi-national public health informatics infrastructure for data collection and disease surveillance. This initial work, under the aegis of an open health tools collaborative, lays the foundation for best practices in patient care and public health preparedness in the national health IT sector. This multinational collaboration is the first to identify essential electronic health record (EHR) data sets as well as standard public health informatics indicators to electronically monitor a notifiable public health condition internationally.
