- Summary:
- The bibliography focuses on the use of computers and communications to support population-based public health functions. As in the prior bibliography, NLM has excluded the primary care services often provided by public health authorities. The literature on consumer health informatics issues is also excluded. However, NLM has included selected population-based health promotion material. Topics covered reflect major public health functions: population surveillance, population screening, registries, health promotion, information systems and services, data linking and mining, and workforce education and assessment. Articles on all aspects of immunization (including immunization registries) are grouped together under Immunization Programs and Issues. Also, we added bioterrorism to the Emergency/Disaster category. Publications increased in this area after the public health community was given a mandate to develop emergency plans and treatment procedures in case of bioterrorist attacks. Finally, we added the new category of Genetics Programs and Counseling.
