Public Health Adaptive Systems Studies   

A CDC Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Center

Public Health Systems Indicators Project (PHSIP)

RESEARCH PURPOSE

Develop the next generation of valid and reliable indicators to measure preparation for and response to a wide variety of threats in local Public Health Systems.

SPECIFIC AIMS

1. Develop “Adaptive System Indicators” (ASIs)
• ASIs will provide an integrated understanding of system strengths and weaknesses.
• ASIs will focus on optimal organizational adaptation in dynamic and uncertain environments.
2. Compare ASI predictions of performance to actual performance
• Years 1 – 3: focus on infectious disease outbreaks and threats
• Years 2 – 4: include wider range of hazards (fires, floods, earthquakes, etc.)
3. Provide data to computational models.
4. Disseminate tools developed and lessons learned nationally.
