PHIN (Public Health Information Network)

The Public Health Information Network (PHIN) is a framework created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the sharing of health information among public health organizations. It aims to enhance disease monitoring, response to health emergencies, and overall public health management by providing standardized tools and practices. PHIN helps ensure that data about health threats, disease outbreaks, and health services can be efficiently communicated and understood across various agencies, ultimately supporting better health outcomes for communities.
