Epidemiology and Health Monitoring
The Epidemiology and Health Monitoring program provides health data,
information, and analytical services to the community in order to foster
decision-making that results in healthier lives.
This program collects, assembles, and analyzes health
status and health surveillance data in Nashville. It also publishes reports on
the health status of Davidson County residents based on various data sources
that include birth and death certificates, notifiable disease data, and youth
and adult health risk behavior surveys. Activities include epidemiological and
spatial analyses, public health informatics, and public health surveillance and
response.
In addition, the Epidemiology and Health Monitoring program provides
technical support for program evaluation throughout the department. It also
monitors and evaluates the quality and utilization of the healthcare delivery
system in Nashville. Surveys and evaluations may be conducted by request for
programs within the Metro Public Health Department and for external
organizations.
