Disease Reporting - Protecting Texans Through Early Detection

Texas Public Health Information Network

The CDC Public Health Information Network (PHIN) is a national initiative to improve the capacity of public health to use and exchange information electronically by promoting the use of standards, and defining functional and technical requirements. PHIN strives to improve public health by enhancing research and practice through best practices related to efficient, effective, and interoperable public health information systems.

In 2007, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) launched the PHIN@Texas website with the express purpose of carrying out the CDC vision within our state. The PHIN@Texas website provides for information-sharing between regions and notifies members of public health related announcements and alerts.
