The New Jersey Integrated Population Health Data (iPHD) Project was established to transform New Jersey’s healthcare delivery systems by integrating health data and other administrative datasets while safeguarding data privacy and security. Enacted through legislation in 2016, the iPHD enables and promotes population health research by integrating healthcare and social services data.
The project has two primary goals:
·  To facilitate research leading to improvements in the health, safety, security, and well-being of New Jersey residents; and
· To improve the cost-efficiency of state government programs in these areas.
The overarching concept of the iPHD is that programmatic data are much more informative when linked across different service programs (e.g., health, social services) than when they remain isolated from one another. By promoting a more complete understanding of these factors, the iPHD can inform policymaking and help strengthen population health in New Jersey.
