Much of public health informatics involves the application of disease surveillance and monitoring systems. These systems collect and provide data for epidemiologists, biostatisticians and other public health professionals to analyze to get a better picture of public health status. Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce http://phpartners.org/health_stats.html (Links to an external site.) is a collaborative of local, state, territorial, national and private partners that provides up-to-date resources and information for public health professionals. There is a list of many of the widely used surveillance systems, databases, reports and tools in the field compiled by the collaborative. Browse several of the links in each subheading (Tools for Data Collection and Planning, GIS, etc.).
