Tribal Implementation Center

Data Modernization Implementation Center Program

The Tribal Implementation Center (Tribal IC) works to implement Tribally led public health data modernization projects. It is a collaboration between Tribes, Tribal Consortia, Tribal Epidemiology Centers, and national public health partners to improve interoperability of public health data systems and to enhance Tribes’ capacity to access and analyze data. The program provides implementation support to make it easier for Tribal health systems, public health and healthcare agencies, and other data providers to share and use public health data. It is intended to help Tribes get the data they need to improve health outcomes in their communities while respecting Tribal sovereignty. No Tribal data will be ever be collected or shared without Tribal consent.
