Project Concept and Scope of Work

and TB Prevention, CDC
Project Concept
Program Collaboration and Service
Integration (PCSI) is a cross cutting goal of
CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP) to strengthen collaborative work
across disease areas and integrate services
that are provided by related programs. As the
PCSI strategy is being implemented by state
and local health departments, various policy
challenges are being encountered.
Project Scope of Work
Developing a national inventory of public health laws and policies by
jurisdiction that effects the delivery of holistic, integrated prevention
services .
Examples
• Public Health Reporting
• Permissible Disclosure
• Data Confidentiality
• Protecting Public Health
• Policies on surveillance data use and data security and
confidentiality
• Compatibility of state law/policy with recommendations for Partner
Services Programs for HIV Infection, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and
Chlamydial Infection
Project Scope of Work
Developing a summary by jurisdiction that
highlights strategies, recommendations and
best practices that were used to address
these specific public health laws and policies
(e.g. legal changes or policy changes).
Local Example
Assessing the legal challenges of data sharing
across HIV, TB, STD and viral hepatitis within

PCSI Data Sharing
• To link/match records from disease surveillance
registries to conduct retrospective epidemiologic
analyses (de-identified aggregate data)
• To share identifying information about individual
cases, or person-level surveillance data, across
programs for case management

Project Background
• Developed out of PCSI needs assessment
– Staff need clarification on current laws and policies
– Distinguish state and local law—statutes, regulations and
rules from internal DOHMH policies regarding use of
surveillance data
– Identify issues of access vs. use
– Provide opportunity for discussion to increase data sharing
• Limited to
– PCSI diseases
• HIV/AIDS, STD (syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea) TB, hepatitis B & C
– Surveillance data
– Sharing internally (within DOHMH)
Scope of Project
• Collaboration with NYC DOHMH Chief Privacy
Officer/General Counsel
• Identify data sharing needs within DOHMH PCSI
programs
• Review history of laws and regulations
• Analyze current NYS and NYC laws and impact on
data sharing
• Recommend changes to increase data sharing
• Serve as a springboard for data sharing
conversations across programs
