Overview : The agency is embarking on a data modernization initiative to accelerate its data strategy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, data was the life blood of the agency's response to making informed data-driven decisions and policies that directly impacts the lives of New Yorkers. These included operational data in our vaccination campaign at the Vaccine Hubs, distribution strategy throughout the city's vaccine infrastructure, as well as health equity data breaking down lab tests, positive cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccination rates by age, place, and race. The agency is embarking on a data modernization initiative to move from siloed and brittle public health data systems to connected, resilient, adaptable, and sustainable systems. This initiative is not just about technology, but also about putting the right people, processes, and policies in place.
The agency's modernization strategy focuses on key areas in data collection, storage, processing (including transformation, standardization, matching, deduplication), data integration and exchange, data analysis and data reporting and visualization
The DMI initiative will allow the agency to build up foundational technology capabilities within the Division of Information Technology. This includes increasing capacity, knowledge, and experience with Azure cloud technologies within the broader NYC cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure and all within the context of public health.
