目标：我们寻求通过快速开发和实施跨部门数据合并的新型可视化应用程序来支持公共卫生监测和应对 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19)。 材料和方法：我们与州和地方公共卫生机构以及卫生系统合作，开发并实施了人口级仪表板，整理接受过 COVID-19 检测和感染的个人的信息。仪表板部署在全州健康信息交换的基础上。一个仪表板使在公共卫生机构工作的授权用户能够详细监视人群，而公共版本则提供更高级别的态势感知，以便为社区中正在进行的流行病应对工作提供信息。结果：事实证明，这两个仪表板都是有用的信息学资源。例如，私人仪表板可以检测与肉类包装厂相关的当地社区疫情。公共仪表板提供最新趋势分析，以跟踪疾病传播和社区级住院情况。 2020 年 6 月 21 日至 8 月 22 日期间，这些工具被 74 317 名不同用户使用了 133 637 次。这些工具经常被记者引用并在社交媒体上出现。讨论：利用全州范围内的健康信息交换，与卫生系统和公共卫生领导者合作，Regenstrief 生物医学信息学专家快速开发和部署信息学工具，以支持对 COVID-19 的监测和响应。讨论：利用全州范围内的健康信息交换，与卫生系统和公共卫生领导者合作，Regenstrief 生物医学信息学专家快速开发和部署信息学工具，以支持对 COVID-19 的监测和响应。结论：公共卫生的应用印第安纳州的信息学方法和工具为其他州和国家带来了希望。然而，在当前的大流行之后，基础设施和伙伴关系的发展将需要努力和投资，为下一次公共卫生紧急情况做准备。
Objective: We sought to support public health surveillance and response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through rapid development and implementation of novel visualization applications for data amalgamated across sectors.Materials and Methods: We developed and implemented population-level dashboards that collate information on individuals tested for and infected with COVID-19, in partnership with state and local public health agencies as well as health systems. The dashboards are deployed on top of a statewide health information exchange. One dashboard enables authorized users working in public health agencies to surveil populations in detail, and a public version provides higher-level situational awareness to inform ongoing pandemic response efforts in communities.Results: Both dashboards have proved useful informatics resources. For example, the private dashboard enabled detection of a local community outbreak associated with a meat packing plant. The public dashboard provides recent trend analysis to track disease spread and community-level hospitalizations. Combined, the tools were utilized 133 637 times by 74 317 distinct users between June 21 and August 22, 2020. The tools are frequently cited by journalists and featured on social media. Discussion: Capitalizing on a statewide health information exchange, in partnership with health system and public health leaders, Regenstrief biomedical informatics experts rapidly developed and deployed informatics tools to support surveillance and response to COVID-19.Discussion: Capitalizing on a statewide health information exchange, in partnership with health system and public health leaders, Regenstrief biomedical informatics experts rapidly developed and deployed informatics tools to support surveillance and response to COVID-19.Conclusions: The application of public health informatics methods and tools in Indiana holds promise for other states and nations. Yet, development of infrastructure and partnerships will require effort and investment after the current pandemic in preparation for the next public health emergency.
