Public health data infrastructure Building Blocks is a library to help public health departments work with their data
General disclaimer This repository was created for use by CDC programs to collaborate on public health related projects in support of the CDC mission. GitHub is not hosted by the CDC, but is a third party website used by CDC and its partners to share information and collaborate on software. CDC use of GitHub does not imply an endorsement of any one particular service, product, or enterprise.
This repository is a part of the CDC/USDS PHDI project and has two components:
The PHDI Python package contains source code for a platform to help public health authorities (PHAs) ingest and report on public health data. This platform is composed of Building Blocks, which are modular software tools that, when composed together, can improve data quality and reduce data cleaning workloads by providing analysis-ready data to downstream public health surveillance systems and other analytical and reporting applications.
PHDI contains:
Current public health systems that digest, analyze, and respond to data are siloed. Lacking access to actionable data, our national, as well as state, local, and territorial infrastructure, isn’t pandemic-ready. Our objective is to help the CDC best support PHAs in moving towards a modern public health data infrastructure. See our public website for more details.
PHDI is a sibling project to PRIME ReportStream, which focuses on improving the delivery of COVID-19 test data to public health departments, and PRIME SimpleReport, which provides a better way for organizations and testing facilities to report COVID-19 rapid tests to public health departments.
In order to use the PHDI library, you need Python 3.9 or higher and pip python package manager (or any python package manager).
To install using pip:
pip install phdi
Here are the current tools that PHDI offers:

We mapped the rootnames of the PHDI database to nicknames produced by the aggregation and synthesis of open source work from a number of projects. While we do not employ the packages and wrappers used by the various projects (merely their open source data), we wish to give credit to their various works building collections of nickname mappings.
