HHDW Background

In 2001, the Hawai‘i Health Data Warehouse (HHDW) was created to standardize the collection and management of public health data for the State of Hawai‘i, to monitor progress towards Healthy People Goals and to make the data more readily available to the researchers, policy makers and the public. HHDW administers the design, development, and management of a centralized data repository which makes it easy to trend data across the years. HHDW strives to be a reliable central portal for public health information for the state. HHDW is dedicated to providing useful data and instantaneous access to support public health professionals, the community, and health agencies to become more effective in the application of health data.

HHDW Goals and Objectives:

  • Make available a highly technical centralized data warehouse that contributes to the overall improvement and expansion of health and services for the people of Hawaii.
  • Support programs in need of efficient data collection by assisting in the assessment, selection and implementation of information technology.
  • Provide resources that maximize the skills of public health professionals, educate policy makers, and improve community health.
  • Encourage the integration of information technology in the public health arena.
