Public Health Systems Indicator Project
HOAC has partnered with the University of Pittsburgh and its Public Health Adaptive Systems Studies (PHASYS) to develop and implement the Public Health System Indicators Project. This project is working with local public health departments and cities/counties across California, with the goal of determining better ways to understand and measure our level of emergency and disaster preparedness. This project is in part a follow-up to the 2005-06 HOAC emergency preparedness assessment, and also brings a particular focus on H1N1 influenza and infectious disease outbreaks at this time.
