Data Modernization in Minnesota’s Governmental Public Health System

Transforming the public health system in Minnesota

A seamless, responsive, and publicly-supported public health system depends on our ability to share information, data, and resources quickly and effectively across geographies and sectors. 

For public health departments to help their communities make data-driven decisions about health and wellness, staff need access to timely, locally relevant, and reliable data,  as well as the expertise and ability to analyze and share that data.

Minnesota’s governmental public health system is working to modernize its approach on a number of fronts. 

Locally, that work is happening in places like: 

  • SCHSAC Local Public Health Data Modernization Workgroup
  • Regional models to collect, use, and share local population health data
  • Local innovation projects supported by the Minnesota Infrastructure Fund
