The Public Health Informatics Institute is a small nonprofit based in Decatur, Georgia, functioning as a program of The Task Force for Global Health and an affiliate of Emory University. It collaborates with public health professionals and their partners on projects focused on requirements development, practice support, and informatics training. Its mission is to advance health outcomes worldwide by helping public health organizations access, use, and share information through current and innovative information technologies. In the public health information space, the institute operates as a facilitator of knowledge and capability-building for public health practice. Its customers are public health organizations and the professionals who work with them, who rely on guidance to access, use, and share information. A notable development is the March 2022 partnership with the University of Minnesota to train up to 240 students and current professionals over a four-year period.
