Building Capacity of CT's Food Safety System Through Development of Data Systems

项目摘要 康涅狄格州公共卫生部(CT DPH)食品保护计划(FPP)寻求 提高其开展食品安全活动的能力和能力，以降低 食源性疾病。数据是公共卫生规划的基础，也是制定 食源性疾病预防策略。康涅狄格州公共卫生部 建议通过为Maven开发两个新模块来改进其食品安全数据系统，a 2008年首次获得CT DPH许可的病例管理系统，以取代现有的 用于报告疾病的独立桌面数据库。目前有五个Maven 可操作的CT DPH计划的应用程序，因此有一种定义明确的方法来 设计、构建和迁移新系统，以实现以下功能的产品 有意的。 这两个系统都将以有限的功能取代FPP中过时的桌面数据库。一 将专门用于食品机构检验报告表数据生成的300个地方 康涅狄格州75个地方卫生部门的食品检查员。来自该系统的数据将是 用于识别在例行检查中观察到的风险因素违规行为，制定合规性 战略，确定检查员的培训需求，并协助计划规划。 第二个系统将用于跟踪和监测食源性疾病的单一投诉 生病了。这对于加强康涅狄格州的食源性疾病监测是必要的 能力，因为大多数食源性疾病患者不会寻求可能导致 阳性的实验室测试，将确定导致他们疾病的微生物。这一新系统 将取代不再起作用的旧系统，并将允许我们监控疾病 从全州的角度进行报告，这将有助于更好地了解真正的负担 预防食源性疾病，最重要的是，提高我们更快识别暴发的能力。 提案的第三部分将提供一个方便用户访问数据的界面 由当地卫生部门和CT DPH。这将允许数据共享、监控、 并经双方评估，用于提高食品安全能力 州和地方两级的计划。未来的计划将包括允许公众进入 法律。

Project Summary The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) Food Protection Program (FPP) seeks to improve its capacity and capability to conduct food safety activities that will reduce the risk of foodborne disease. Data is the foundation of public health planning and essential for developing foodborne disease prevention strategies. The Connecticut Department of Public health proposes to improve its food safety data system by developing two new modules for Maven, a case management system that was first licensed for CT DPH in 2008 to replace existing standalone desktop databases used for reportable diseases. Currently there are five Maven applications for CT DPH programs that are operational, so there is a well-defined approach to designing, building, and migrating new systems that will result in a product that functions as intended. Both systems will replace outdated desktop databases in the FPP with limited functioning. One will be dedicated to food establishment inspection report form data generated by the 300 local food inspectors at the 75 local health departments in Connecticut. Data from this system will be used to identify risk factor violations observed during routine inspections, develop compliance strategies, determine training needs for inspectors, and assist in program planning. The second system will be used for tracking and monitoring of single complaints of foodborne illness. This is necessary for enhancing Connecticut's foodborne disease surveillance capabilities as most people with foodborne disease do not seek medical care that can result in a positive laboratory test that will identify the organism that caused their illness. This new system will replace an older system that is no longer functional and will allow us to monitor illness reports from a statewide perspective that will lead to a better understanding of the true burden of foodborne illness and most important, improve our ability to identify outbreaks more rapidly. The third component of the proposal will provide an interface for user friendly access to the data by local health departments and CT DPH. This would allow for data to be shared, monitored, and evaluated by both parties and will be used for improving the capability of food safety programs at the state and local level. Future plans would include public access as allowed by law.
