Brian Hatch / Epidemiologist
Division of Communicable Disease & Epidemiology Director
Davis County Health Department

How are you contributing to TriSano®?
I have been involved with the TriSano® project for the past 20 months as a member of the core development team. My role on the development team is as a subject matter expert (SME) by bringing a local health department perspective in Epidemiology, Surveillance, Communicable Disease Investigation & Case Management, Environmental Health, and Administration to the TriSano® project. The TriSano project has provided local health departments with a centralized disease surveillance system and ability to manage diseases that they must oversee in order to control and eliminate disease in their communities.

Carolyn Rose / Nurse
Carolyn Rose is Nursing Director for Summit county health department.

How are you contributing to TriSano®?
“I represent Nurses, investigation and the needs of smaller local health departments. Because of our size we need an efficient and flexible solution to disease reporting and investigation as well as tracking the diseases in our county. We are trying to build TriSano® in a way that promotes the application to guiding a nurse or local health official on how to appropriately conduct an investigation. This will prove useful for new employees and those who do not do investigations as their primary responsibility, as well as during an outbreak or Bioterrorism incident.“

David Jackson / Epidemiologist
David Jackson is a product manager for the Utah Department of Health and is currently responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of a NEDSS-compatible system to support Utah public health business needs. Mr. Jackson has been with UDOH for more than nine years during which time he has served as the Communicable Disease Surveillance Program Manager and an infectious disease epidemiologist.

What does TriSano® mean to you?
We believe TriSano® is going to allow us to track diseases better and identify unusual disease situations faster. This idea of picking up on something days, weeks, months earlier translates to fewer illnesses, fewer hospitalizations and maybe even fewer deaths. There are systems that do what TriSano® does that cost millions off the shelf.
