Claudia Williams, CEO at Manifest MedEx, provides more insight into why we need to strengthen and build robust health data utilities that can link and connect public health and clinical data systems. Read her article published in the Public Health Post to learn more about the importance of funding health data utilities as critical infrastructure and engines for health in our communities.
