Overview

The design of an electronic system for submitting, reviewing, and archiving annual reports required of LHDs was explored, but due to reforms in the State Department of Health’s reimbursement program for LHDs, the recommendations were not implemented. The Quick Strike project did provide an opportunity to identify and implement ways to share robust data on LHD spending for public health services with state and national public health services researchers.
