Russell Kirby, PhD, MS, FACE:  Dr. Kirby is the Chairman of the Department of Community and Family Health at the College of Public Health, University of South Florida. Dr. Kirby is a human geographer with extensive training and experience in public health practice, academic medicine, and academic public health.  He will discuss population health informatics as it pertains to health equity, chronic disease and improving outcomes across a person's lifespan.

The social determinants of health framework provides a holistic perspective for the study of how health promotion and disease prevention can improve population health.

Integrating this framework with the life course perspective can provide powerful insights into the manners by which economic, social and cultural factors influence the health experiences of the individual, and collectively can enable us to identify interventions and policies that can ameliorate chronic health conditions.

Population health informatics provides the tools to study the role of social and physical environmental factors, health behaviors, and genetics in creating the conditions that lead to chronic disease, and the role of health care and public health in improving outcomes across the population.

While some elements are in place, much work needs to be done to create and maintain the necessary infrastructure for population health informatics to integrate the necessary data across space, time, and critical domains.
