Description:Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. They are also leading drivers of the nation’s $3.8 trillion in annual health care costs. These diseases are linked to the conditions in which we are born, live, learn, work, and play, known as social determinants of health (SDOH).
Being able to analyze data in a way that links health behaviors, interventions, and outcomes to SDOH and other factors like community services is vital if we are to reduce chronic diseases and achieve health equity. The Clinical and Community Data Initiative (CODI) is about engaging people and developing processes and technology to improve data accessibility and use for understanding health.
Communities track and store different kinds of health-related information, such as data about health care, SDOH, and community supports and services. Common challenges of data stored across different settings include standardizing, linking, reconciling, and sharing individual health-related information in a way that preserves privacy.
CODI is an initiative, led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that brings together people (local individuals, organizations, collaborations), processes (data assessments, business processes, sharing, governance) and technology (record linkage, data models, analytic tools). This locally owned infrastructure supports community efforts to improve health and achieve health equity using data-driven approaches. CODI uses existing information technology tools in new ways so that individual data can be linked across clinical and community sectors.
