Section 13: Public Health Preparedness Informatics<br />

• Digital Photograph submittal. Allows health facilities to submit a digital<br />

photograph of a suspect case for review by a medical epidemiologist.<br />

Submittal of a photograph initiates an electronic workflow for review of<br />

the image and correspondence with the submitter and triggers IHANS to<br />

notify State Epidemiology staff and the duty officer system.<br />

The HAN Web site is located at:<br />

https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/hpn/hanweb/hanhome.shtml<br />

h. Secure Collaboration. A secure discussion forum system is available on the<br />

commerce system. The forum provides for open or access controlled<br />

discussion groups to be set up on the fly and controlled by a moderator,<br />

allowing members to post files and carry on secure collaborative discussion<br />

topics. On activation of an electronic incident (different from a survey or<br />

surveillance form) in HERDS a secure access controlled discussion group is<br />

automatically created and access granted to the affected facilities and<br />

jurisdictions. The discussion forum is available at:<br />

https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/frm/cgi-bin/applinks/forum/WebX<br />

i. Secure file transfer. Files may be securely transmitted between any two<br />

commerce users. Files sent by a user are virus scanned and sent to an<br />

electronic drop box, the recipient is notified by e-mail on arrival. The sender<br />

is notified by e-mail that he recipient has downloaded the file. The utility is<br />

available at:<br />

https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/hpn/ctrldocs/genfxr/filetransfer.html<br />

j. Data Analysis and Visualization (DAV).<br />

• Geographical Information System (GIS). Commerce system supports<br />

spatial DAV through a web enabled COTS GIS viewer system<br />

(ESRI/ARCIMS). Basic geographic layers (e.g., transportation, geopolitical<br />

boundaries, place locations, water boundaries), heath-response<br />

related point locations (e.g., health facility locations) and health data<br />

layers are available through the commerce spatial data warehouse (ERSI).<br />

The GIS viewer system integrates with HERDS and supports full featured<br />

queries and display of any reporting system deployed in HERDS. Hospital<br />

assets, vaccine inventory and influenza surveillance functions listed above<br />

are available in real time for GIS DAV. This capacity will be available for<br />

other HERDS instances for other facilities and LHDs in Q1 of 2006. A<br />

GIS capacity also exists for CEDSS and this will be migrated to the<br />

generalized GIS viewer in the sale timeframe.<br />

The HERDS GIS Viewer is located at:<br />

https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/map/doh2/applinks/hospcap/new/<br />

• Executive DashBoard (EDB). An executive dashboard system is available<br />

for just-in-time activation and use in a PHP event. The dashboard provides<br />

an integrated portal providing summary visualization of key information<br />

systems on health commerce to provide executive decision makers with<br />

high-level situational awareness and decision support. It also provides<br />
