KEY POINTS regarding PH Agencies

• The collection, maintenance, analysis, and storage of health data are vital for planning effective public health action.

• Public health organizations play an important role in conducting research while also providing services to promote the public’s health.

• Health policy and law can be influenced through epidemiological research.

• Surveillance systems in the community continuously update health status information and provide us with feedback on community medical services.

• Epidemiologists use many types of technology for effective communication. Automation of information systems allows public health professionals to be alerted at all levels.

• Ethical issues, data privacy, quality of data, and storage are some of the challenges associated with the use of information and technology in the field of epidemiology.
