Abstract:
The eCR Roadmap is specifically intended for Tribal public health authorities (Tribes/ the entity designated by the Tribe as the public health authority and TECs) interested in learning more about eCR and the process of directly connecting to the AIMS platform in order to receive public health data time while exercising their sovereignty. The Electronic Case Reporting Roadmap for Tribes and Tribal Epidemiology Centers (eCR Roadmap) is a project undertaken by NIHB with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create a step by-step guiding document for Tribes and TECs interested in directly connecting to the AIMS platform for eCR for the purposes of receiving data on reportable conditions in real time. The goal of this Roadmap is to make eCR connections more accessible for Tribes and TECs by outlining clear steps to achieving a connection. This Roadmap will also outline challenges Tribes and TECs may face in connecting to eCR and shares resources and best practices for overcoming these challenges. Finally, this Roadmap will provide resources and language for Tribes and TECs to advocate for their own legal right to access public health data.
