NACCHO Model Practice Program criteria were used to select the public health initiatives included in the case studies. Our methodological approach included using document review and semistructured key informant interviews. Four multimethod case studies were conducted based on a modified sociotechnical framework to learn more about public health initiative implementation and use in the Beacon Communities. The Beacon Community Program, designed to showcase technology-enabled, community-based initiatives to improve outcomes, focused on: building and strengthening health information technology (IT) infrastructure and exchange capabilities translating investments in health IT to measureable improvements in cost, quality, and population health and, developing innovative approaches to performance measurement, technology, and care delivery. The project highlighted the successes and challenges of these efforts with the aim of sharing this information broadly among the public health community.
The Beacon Communities for Public Health (BCPH) project was launched in 2011 to gain a better understanding of the range of activities currently being conducted in population- and public health by the Beacon Communities.
