The Oakland County Health Division, in collaboration with the Oakland County Department of Information Technology, has implemented a web-based Health and Human Services Communication Portal. This application facilitates and expedites communication between County schools, hospitals, physicians, and the Oakland County Health Division. Schools use the portal to report communicable diseases and receive information to plan for pandemic emergencies. Hospitals and physicians use the portal to receive information for pandemic emergency disaster planning. Oakland County also tracks vaccines requested from and provided to physicians.
