New CDC Director, H1N1 and Upcoming PHSSR Meetings
Read an excerpt from Scutch's Blog...
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
Well, the PHSSR team has mostly recovered from the 2009 Keeneland Conference. Since we are committed to quality improvement, we want evaluations from those of you who attended. Please take a  moment to complete the online survey. I encourage you to ’save-the-date’ now for the 2010 Conference, also. Keeneland will be a little later in April next year; we have it slated for April 20-22, 2010. These days do not conflict with Passover, Easter, Public Health Week or spring break. Mark your calendar now and make sure to subscribe to our mailing list for future updates.
Many of you have asked me about the Preakness. Yes, I did have the winner. She won the Oaks with such élan that was impossible not to bet on her. My choice was not a particularly difficult one, considering the jockey, Calvin Borel, who won both the Oaks and Derby went with Rachel Alexander. I do hope you watched the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby. I didn't pick the winner that day, but wish I had!
The H1N1Flu (Swine Flu) outbreak has made life interesting. Dr. Glen Mays and I both feel that using the public health practice based research networks (PBRNs) might prove to be a cost effective way to evaluate the results of flu pandemic planning currently in place. We have drafted a brief protocol and have distributed it to organizations interested in funding the research. The intended use of a PBRN is to effectively collect data to provide to practitioners and researchers. Hopefully, funding can be found to support further development of the network.
 All are now aware of the appointment of Dr. Thomas Frieden as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director. No one is quite sure of where he stands on issues related to PHSSR. We do know that he has the tools and background to understand using evidence and science to drive decision-making. He was with the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) and gained international experience while running a major agency. We welcome him to the job and hope that he will have the opportunity to learn about PHSSR. Many of his units are using these new research tools to evaluate program issues. As most know, both the Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness & Emergency Response (COTPER) and the Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD) have been linked to efforts in PHSSR, to go join forces with the work being done by the Office of the Chief of Public Health Practice (OCPHP).
