When you modernize your injury surveillance system, Soliz notes, that doesn't eliminate the need to follow required processes, minimize data collection, and clearly define who can use identifiable data and information for what purpose.
However, the data could be used for legitimate public health purposes, Soliz adds.
We want to have a good public health surveillance system, Soliz remarks.
“A good public health surveillance system depends on public trust…and that in turn depends on collecting no more patient information than the law and the mission generally requires.”
A public health surveillance system has a very legitimate value, and I think the provider community recognizes that, Soliz adds.
