LAS VEGAS - The Southern Nevada Health District announced its annual Public Health Heroes, recognition given to individuals or organizations whose efforts positively affect the health and well-being of the community. This year’s winners were honored at the April 23 Southern Nevada District Board of Health meeting. The 2012 Public Health Heroes include:
Collaborative Software Initiative/CSI
The Portland, Ore.-based CSI has worked with the health district’s office of epidemiology since 2010 on a project to modernize the electronic systems used for disease investigation and epidemiologic analysis. CSI developed an open-source system, named TriSano, which was developed for the Utah Department of Health. An open-source system means that the software is owned and developed by a user community rather than a software vendor. CSI’s TriSano system has made a large contribution to public health nationwide. The TriSano system allows health district staff to quickly investigate and understand infectious disease problems and patterns in our community. The long-term goal of the health district include adapting the system so it can also be used the HIV/AIDS, STD, and TB programs as well.
