OBJECTIVES: Data modernization (DM) seeks to transform data and information systems in public health (PH) to support core activities. This study characterizes incumbent PH workers who perform informatics and data-centric roles that are critical to DM activities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Responses from the 2024 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) on the US governmental PH workforce were analyzed. Out of 77 PH job classifications, 9 were mapped to informatics/data-centric roles. Demographics, work characteristics, and contribution to informatics and other PH program areas of these roles were examined.
RESULTS: Based on weighted responses, informatics and data-centric roles comprise approximately 8% (N = 4786) of the PH workforce. This included PH informatics specialists (<1%), epidemiologists (3.9%), data analytics/related roles (1.7%), and information technology/computer science (IT/CS) workers (2.1%).
DISCUSSION: Informatics roles are performed by PH informatics specialists as well as other workers, like epidemiologists, and PH informatics specialists support a broad range of PH activities including surveillance.
CONCLUSION: Achieving the goals of DM and the national Public Health Data Strategy will require developing and supporting a variety of informatics and data-centric roles in PH agencies.
