Johanna Goderre is the Senior Health Informatics Advisor to the Office of Population Affairs in the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. Johanna Goderre is a public health professional with over 10 years’ experience conducting public health studies, from concept development and grant application to implementation, quality assurance, analysis, and publication in an academic research setting. Her professional experience and interests bridge technical domains like information technology and statistical analysis with health domains that deliver high-quality, evidenced based care to large populations - thus ensuring these often separate worlds can come together to use their own data to advance health improvements. Ms. Goderre currently manages Family Planning standards in development and testing in two IHE committees: Information Technology Infrastructure and Quality, Research, and Public Health. These standards will support transitioning an aggregate service delivery reporting system to a 21st century encounter-level system that can return clinically-relevant performance measures in a user-friendly and visually actionable manner. This new system will accept standards-based summaries of health encounters from EHR systems in over 4000 clinical settings in all US states and territories. She has been able to take a relatively little-known clinical field with little affiliation to health IT standards through initial authorship of data exchange and clinical decision support standards to pilot testing, all with the clinical end-users engaged in the technical and privacy and security guidance, in 15 months.
