Agreed! Nice to know who is participating, in which communities, and for what reasons. Sounds like you have the right idea, Riki, with this site being a great way to avoid "re-inventing the wheel." I'm a huge proponent of that thought.

Health Information Exchange Community of Practice
The Public Health Case Reporting (PHCR) community is interested in improving case reporting, defined as transmission of reportable condition reports from clinicians and facilities to public health.
The Assessment Initiative serves as a "test-bed" for developing new methodologies and promising practices in community health assessment.
The Laboratory Messaging Community of Practice (LM CoP) brings together PHIN stakeholders nationwide involved in defining, implementing, maintaining, evaluating, and evolving lab messaging.
The CACoP supports all aspects of alerting, voice and applicable data communications technologies (e.g. PHIN MS) required to meet the state and CDC missions in support of PHIN.

- Bio
- Rachel Johnson's career in Public Health began after receiving her BA in Communication Studies during her 2 1/2 year Peace Corps assignment in South Africa. Being situated in a rural, farming village on the border of Botswana, she lived among the Nothern Sotho and Tswana speaking tribes where she developed and implemented a sustainable health education program for young girls and women. This project came to be known nationwide as Palala Clubs and expanded to reach both boys, girls and even adults in many different communities. The Palala Clubs began as a PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Reflief) funded project but gained financial independence by the end of two years with the incorporation of income generating crafts.
Today, Rachel works at the CDC where she serves as a Subject Matter Expert for the Public Health Information Network (PHIN).
