Given the multi-billion investments in public health for the Data Modernization Initiative (DMI), it is important to understand the DMI leadership and projects. Analysis pointed to less than half (41%) of DMI leaders having a public health degree, DMI Director designation by one-third (29%) and one-fifth in temporary positions. Analysis of websites pointed to a dedicated DMI site by only one state public health, but all agencies had information on electronic case reporting (eCR) posted.
