The Davies Public Health Award honors excellence in the development of systems that creatively and effectively utilize electronic data on individual patients/clients to promote the organization’s own mission and to further the health of the public in the area for which the organization is responsible. Although the award is offered primarily with state and local health departments in mind, other organizations that have population health impacts (e.g., WIC Clinics, poison control centers) will be considered if their applications meet the criteria for the award by using effective systems targeted primarily to promote public health .
