APHL Informatics has developed the Technical Assistance Team (TAT) approach to guide and support public health laboratories (PHLs), public health agencies (PHAS), and other data exchange partners. With the tools and expertise offered by APHL’s Technical Assistance Services, PHLs and PHAs can understand, navigate, and implement electronic data exchange that uses simple, effective, standards-based methods. This direct assistance has yielded successful results in a number of APHL Informatics projects.
