A new resource is available from All Kids Count to assist public health agencies that are planning or implementing projects to integrate child health information systems.

Creating a Road Map is a compilation of reports by the All Kids Count Connections community of practice. Connections comprises eleven state and local health departments and private organizations that are integrating two or more child health information systems.

Creating a Road Map advances the knowledge base for developing and implementing integrated child health information systems. It documents the systems integration activities undertaken by nine Connections member agencies. It contains high-level recommendations that are relevant to various aspects of planning and implementing a public health information systems project ranging from developing a marketing plan to defining a business process. It also includes detailed information provided about partnership with the private provider community, ensuring privacy and confidentiality, and using billing data, among other topics.
