PHII BACKGROUND:
The Public Health Informatics Institute (PHII) is a Program of the Task Force for Global Health, Inc., a non-profit organization affiliated with Emory University and whose staffs are employed through Emory University. PHII is a partner in a global health surveillance network aimed at preventing childhood mortality in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance network, or CHAMPS, will help improve acquisition of data about how, where and why children are getting sick and dying. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation made an initial commitment of $75 million for the initiative, in 2015.
CHAMPS is envisioned to be a 20-year program based initially at six sites, but eventually could be expanded to as many as 20 sites. The Emory Global Health Institute (EGHI), which houses the U.S. office of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI), serves as the lead partner in the new global network of surveillance sites. PHII is tasked with oversight of the informatics strategy and data management operations, assessing and managing multiple streams of data collected from the sites.
