Connecticut Health Information Network
CHIN is a partnership between the University of Connectictut, Akaza Research, Inc., and Connecticut’s state agencies to develop a federated computer network linking diverse databases across agencies. This innovative network complies with stringent security and privacy standards, and offers unprecedented opportunities to integrate and analyze public health data to inform program development and policy decisions. |
Benefits include:
- The ability to assess target populations and track their interactions with various state agencies over extended periods of time.
- Advancement of evidence-based practices by linking programs and health outcomes over time.
- Enhanced ability for program and agency self-evaluation.
- A vehicle for state agencies to articulate their needs and agenda to government.
- The development of data standards resulting in greater consistency in the structure and content of databases across state agencies.
