Health Policy
I had the chance earlier this week to talk with Craig Behm, CEO & President of Crisp Shared Services (CSS), and Britteny Matero, Partner & SVP at Innsena. The topic is the upgrading public health IT infrastructure which was exposed by the pandemic as a bit of a mess. CSS, Innsena and partners are one of four new centers set up with a $255m CDC grant to help public health departments upgrade their technology and get on the same page about reporting for all the good reasons we heard about in the pandemic. There are hundreds of public health departments running thousands of programs and they’ve been the ugly stepchild of health data. Craig and Britteny got in depth we me about what that looks like and how they’re going to change it! — Matthew Holt
