NC DHHS proposed a research project a couple months back to help fight COVID and it's about to formerly start!
Background
The NC DHHS has requested HMIS@NCCEH data to better understand and improve rates of vaccination among people experiencing homelessness. The integration of information from HMIS, COVID-19 Vaccine Management System, NC DHHS, CoCs, and homeless service agencies would allow service providers and NC DHHS to support successful vaccination of people experiencing homelessness in NC. This information then tracks the aggregate percentage of people experiencing homelessness who are vaccinated in each NC county.
Process & Approval
NC DHHS presented this project to the April HMIS@NCCEH Advisory Board (the governance committee for our system) meeting and was approved by members (which include CoC representatives).
For questions about the HMIS@NCCEH Advisory Board or this research project in particular, please contact Andrea Carey (andrea@ncceh.org) at the Data Center.
