About Tracking
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (CDC Tracking) is a premier online resource for environmental health information. It will improve our nation’s understanding of how the environment affects peoples’ health, making our communities safer. At the national level, CDC Tracking partners extensively with other states, agencies, organizations and U.S. universities. The CDC and Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) entered into a cooperative agreement in 2009, renewed in 2014, to establish an Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (EPHT) in Louisiana.
About Us
The application and dissemination of informatics knowledge and expertise to public health professionals is the key to unlocking the potential of information systems to improve the health of the residents of Louisiana. The Bureau serves as the hub for many OPH-wide data and informatics efforts, coordinating legislative mandates for reporting, managing Meaningful Use for Public Health, providing data and visualization services, managing the Electronic Health Records system for the parish health clinics, and other Office-wide and external efforts and partnerships.
Access to Health Data
The Bureau of Health Informatics has partnered with Environmental Public Health Tracking to create and launch a self-service data portal for Louisiana residents looking for information on health concerns and conditions in the state. The portal reflects the vision and core values of OPH: to demonstrate transparency by making quality health data available and to employ and promote science-based best practices towards continuous improvement.
