Illinois Leverages PHIG for Innovative Clinical Tools and Predictive Analytics

Success Stories

PHIG funding helped the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) take its cloud-based data infrastructure further. A formal data-sharing agreement between IDPH and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services is improving insights into Medicaid populations. In response to the heatwave, IDPH developed a dashboard that combines temperature data, heat indices, and predictive analytics on heat-related cases to support public health teams in effectively monitoring and responding to heat wave risks. With new cloud capabilities, IDPH also launched a Measles Outbreak Dashboard using machine learning to help anticipate and monitor potential outbreak patterns in real time for Illinois schools. By improving how data is shared and applied, IDPH is helping ensure better health outcomes for communities throughout Illinois.
