PUBLIC HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP

Jane provided an update on the process of the 2012 Public Health Activities & Services Inventory. The list of activities and services has stabilized. The 2012 inventory will be done using eight surveys as in previous years. These will be sent ahead of time to local health agencies so they can begin preparing the data for entry when the web surveys open in mid to late March. The online surveys will be open for approximately three weeks. Data is expected to be released mid-summer both for local health and the Department of Health. Some minor adjustments have been made recently to the technical notes, definitions and descriptions.
