Tribal Epidemiology Panel

Tribal Epidemiology Centers are vital to public health support for American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Each TEC has a unique mission and goals for the community they serve, including the ways they collect and report public health data to help tribes understand their health needs. Given the dire need to strengthen these public health systems, data modernization has been a key component to how TEC’s have been able to keep up with the demand for better population health management.

This panel will dive into these tribal data infrastructure related topics on how they are implementing innovative solutions to better serve their Tribal communities. 

The HIMSS Native American and Indigenous Community is committed to educating and equipping tribal leaders and tribal health professionals with culturally informed resources designed to help improve health outcomes and enhance access and opportunities within Native American and Indigenous people’s healthcare. Gather with fellow visionaries and health equity advocates to improve the delivery of care and transform tribal health.
