As the State of Texas rushes to address the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become critical to rely on the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to provide reliable, up to the minute data regarding the current state of infection in the state.  As DSHS works to provide this critical data to inform decision makers, health care administrators and citizens, the agency is experiencing serious limitations in the ability to efficiently and reliably provide the data due to a legacy of disparate systems and data that currently resides in numerous locations and databases across the agency. Sharing this vital data across all of these systems is inherently difficult, time-consuming, and requires resource intensive manual and inefficient processes. These cumbersome manual processes have a severe impact on Texas’ ability to respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent the loss of life.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission requires the services of 3 Systems Analyst 3, hereafter referred to as Candidate(s), who meets the general qualifications of Systems Analyst 3, Applications/Software Development and the specifications outlined below for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.   The COVID-19 pandemic has strained Texas resources and data sharing capabilities in unprecedented ways. The need for immediate and accurate data in order to make daily decisions is essential to a successful response for Texas constituents. The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) relies on the collection and dissemination of COVID-19 related data from different sources to respond to the pandemic. Through the newly-implemented Infectious Disease Data Integration (IDDI) platform, the agency collected and integrated data from various critical, but disparate source systems. Though IDDI moved the agency’s goals forward to collect, integrate and curate the required data set, the continued differences in data formats, variances in the data quality of the source systems, and the unprecedented volume of data that is now collected on a daily basis poses a continued challenge to maintain uniformity and integrity and provide public accessibility to this critical data that IDDI has integrated, curated and reported. It is imperative for DSHS to overcome this challenge of collecting, sharing and exchanging data with key stakeholders. Additionally, in March 2021, the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 969 in the 87th Legislature now requires DSHS to develop a standardized method for reporting data concerning public health disasters to ensure the accessibility and integrity of critical data to all key stakeholders, including Texas citizens during a public health disaster.   The Public Health Data Sharing (PHDS) project will help DSHS comply with SB 969 as well as fulfill the needs identified in the data assessment carried out by HHS.   HHSC IT is currently implementing a data sharing platform with Informatica PowerCenter / IDQ, Snowflake and AWS technologies with a goal to accomplish improved collection, integration, and curation of COVID-19 related data sets.
