HHS-DPBH - BIOSTATISTICS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
101-3219
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Biostatistics and Epidemiology budget account serves the Nevada State Health Division's Office of Public Health Informatics and Epidemiology (OPHIE). The mission of the OPHIE is
to conduct disease surveillance, investigate disease outbreaks, and provide quality, timely, and relevant data and statistics to supportive public health stakeholders.
To carry out this mission, the OPHIE records and analyzes reportable disease information; conducts interviews with infected individuals and their contacts; refers individuals for medical
treatment; analyzes data from disease investigations; identifies risk factors; provides education and recommendations on disease prevention; and works in conjunction with appropriate
agencies to enforce communicable disease laws. Staff in the OPHIE also performs data management, quality assurance, analysis, and reporting in a broad spectrum of public health areas.
The OPHIE houses many core public health datasets, including communicable disease registries, inpatient hospital discharge data, births, deaths, fetal deaths, abortions, marriages, divorces,
and others. Common elements between databases enable matching or linking of these databases in order to provide newly accessible and standardized information for analytical and
programmatic purposes. Extracted databases derived from each database and linked databases are available for statistical data analysis. Analyses are compiled in a variety of reports, which
are posted on the Public Health's website, making the data available for program evaluation and planning and policy development.
Statutory Authority: NRS 439, 440, 441A, 442, 450B, and 457.
