Using Emerging Informatics Techniques To Evaluate The Delivery Of National Minority Aids Education And Training Center Training Programs In Addressing Hiv/Aids Disparities, Chiehwen Ed Hsu
Chiehwen Ed Hsu
Many AIDS education and training programs have developed techniques to better target and recruit providers most in need of training. Given the infusion of federal and state resources invested in training of the providers in recent years, whether the delivery of training activities are closely aligned with high minority AIDS prevalence geographic areas remains unknown. This present study discusses an informatics system to identify the relationships between AIDS intervention programs and geographic areas of minority populations adversely affected by HIV/AIDS to help determine whether resources are being expended appropriately (as evidenced by the alignment of training activities) in areas where …

ABSTRACT: We propose a shift from a network-centric to a human-centric framework to assimilate emerging technologies into more effective and persistent situational awareness, integrated with actionable knowledge. Diverse communities of interest are better positioned to unify their efforts and support commanders when they are able to share situational awareness. A recent demonstration of military utility of a medical situational awareness capability for influenza surveillance validated shared situational awareness requirements in general. The current and future information environment will increase military and government requirements for situational awareness and actionable knowledge to support many “observe, assess, plan, and execute” processes by decision-makers. …
