STD Data Management & Information Technology
ShareCompartir
Timely access to quality data is one of the backbones of an effective STD prevention and control program. The ability to accurately collect and analyze data in a timely fashion is a key part of making correct decisions regarding individual patient care and case management and, on a broader level, making effective programmatic decisions on issues such as prioritizing intervention activities and allocating scarce resources. A key part of the data collection and management process falls into the area of informatics, i.e. the use of information systems and technology to perform the critical tasks of data collection, management, and analysis. This website provides access to information and resources designed to assist state and local STD prevention programs in their use of data and information systems.
