Abstract

This thesis documents recommendations for data exchange standards that is important in public health today. The reasons for this are numerous and complex, however, inadequate data to support public health and healthcare entities has been identified as an area which is essential to making both healthcare and public health efforts more effective.   Specially, lack of data collection from electronic health records (EHR) and; electronic laboratory reports (ELR) has been identified as a key challenge.   

Georgia Department of Public Health identifies inadequate data collection as a reason for limited funding. Technology can help change this trend by collecting required data attributes. Bridging data gaps will ensure generation of electronic case reporting (eCR) form the electronic health records encounter form which is transmitted online through State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS).   

Additionally, recommendations to implement a Chronic Kidney Disease registry to determine incidence of increased deaths. 

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate adults diagnosed with diabetes might be predisposed to CKD. As individuals age, kidney disease worsens even though medical intervention and treatment is administered. Over time, individuals may need a kidney transplant and dialysis while waiting for a donor. There is a need to build a national cloud based commercial compliant kidney registry.
