Chronic Disease in North Carolina

In 2020, CODI was implemented in North Carolina (CODI@NC), and local collaborators are working with healthcare, local and state health departments, and community-based organizations to link clinical and community data in the Triangle region to understand chronic disease. From 2021–2023, CODI@NC further optimized the CODI infrastructure for standardizing and linking individual- and household-level data across clinical and community systems. CODI can help evaluate health and lifestyle programs, track local health trends, and support research with its data resources. For more information, please visit https://codinetworknc.org.

This implementation was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2020-2023. The technical approach implemented in North Carolina differs from the approach described on this website which leverages existing HIE infrastructure to connect data. A CODI toolbox hosted by the Public Health Informatics Institute also describes this implementation and offers processes, standards, and tools to support partnership building, capacity assessments, and data linking and cleaning: https://phii.org/course/codi-toolbox/.
