Handheld Technology for Public Health

In order to address the increasing need for regional Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities for public health, the Western Partnership purchased thirty multipurpose handheld units to be shared among the staff of the region’s health departments. Additional handheld unit memory, software and training will be purchased with current funds to meet increasing demands in the region. The Partnership will collaborate with the state’s Public Health Regional Surveillance Team (PHRST) for training and overall program support.
