Welcome to the PHIN Community!
Communities of Practice (CoPs) are working to strengthen the Public Health Information Network (PHIN) as members collaborate, share, and focus on issues prioritized by the PHIN Community. The PHIN Community provides a participatory environment for members to learn, share expertise, and develop solutions to improve public health’s capacity to use and exchange information electronically. The PHIN Communities of Practice Program (CoPP), in their role of supporting the PHIN Community, developed this site to provide PHIN members and interested parties with information about the PHIN Community. Your feedback will help expand and improve the PHIN CoPs.
