Salt Lake City, UT | June 21-22, 2023
The Utah Partnerships for Turning Data into Action | A Health Data Innovation Summit brought together key partners to learn about, and collaborate on, high priority public health information challenges that impact the health, wellness and prosperity of Utahns. The summit convened distinguished representatives from the public and private sectors to consider catalytic opportunities to unlock and modernize essential public health information that can be used by communities, families, businesses and government for better, faster decision making. This opportunity focused on how multi-sector partnerships can drive innovation in health data information systems – innovations that ultimately help improve health outcomes, lower healthcare costs and spur economic growth for every Utahn.
Building on the CDC-ONC Industry Days that was hosted on February 27-28, 2023, this two-day event accomplished several goals, including:
- Highlighted the role of the One Utah Health Collaborative,
- Learned how public health data can better serve diverse sectors,
- Showcased plans for the Common Public Health Data Platform project – a shared data space across Utah’s local public health agencies,
- Promoted Utah's Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) system development, implementation and collaboration opportunities,
- Informed partners about the Utah public health agencies’ strategic direction, major areas of work and priorities,
- Provided partners with opportunities to describe their services,
- Featured a panel of leaders from across sectors,
- Provided networking opportunities.
