The CDC Public Health Information Network (PHIN) is a national initiative to improve the capacity of public health to use and exchange information electronically by promoting the use of standards, defining functional and technical requirements.
PHIN strives to improve public health by enhancing research and practice through best practices related to efficient, effective, and interoperable public health information systems.
CDC’s role in PHIN is:
- Supporting the exchange of critical health information between all levels of public health and healthcare,
- Developing and promulgating requirements, standards, specifications, and an overall architecture in a collaborative, transparent, and dynamic way,
- Monitoring the capability of state and local health departments to exchange information,
- Advancing supportive policy,
- Providing technical assistance to state and local health departments, and
- Facilitating communication and information sharing within the PHIN community.

[...] The main objective of the project is to achieve electronic data exchange interoperability between states, including sharing influenza surveillance laboratory test orders and results. The goal is to be better equipped to prevent or delay the spread of influenza and other illnesses, as well as dramatically improve potential surge capacities for situations such as H1N1(Swine) flu.
