Developing an Asynchronous Training on Role of Environmental Health Specialists in Maintaining Environmental Data Integrity
Since 2003, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has been collecting statewide data for Environmental Health (EH) programs which have helped the agency move towards making data-driven decisions. In 2019, VDH transitioned to a new cloud-based enterprise data system, Environmental Health Database (EHD), which houses statewide data for more than 12 Environmental Health programs. During the development of EHD, VDH identified a complete list of data entry fields with a specific focus on the most critical data entry fields.
