IPHIS is an integrated information system that will support real-time, Web-based public health communication and data exchange. The funding for IPHIS is provided through the Federal Public Health Emergency Preparedness program. The system will provide a seamless interface to secure two-way communications with health-care providers as well as timely data and analysis tools for health planning, operations and evaluation. IPHIS will feed a public health data warehouse for data to state agencies, community partners, private health-care providers and the public.
GovConnect's portion of the project includes all of the activities required to procure and select a qualified vendor to design, develop and implement IPHIS.
