Case Study: HAN

Client

The Wisconsin Health Alert Network is a communications system for Wisconsin's Public Health departments, hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, laboratories, law enforcement, EMS and other heath agencies.  It is funded by a grant from the US Centers for Disease Control and prevention with the goal of improved communications infrastructure for all Wisconsin Public Health Agencies and their partners.  This is done by: (1) Fostering high-speed and dedicated internet connections for our local public health agencies, (2) Creating a secure web site and emergency messaging system for communications among health agencies for bioterrorism and all other public health threats and (3) Establishing a distance learning capability to foster greater public health organizational capacity and public health professional development.

Challenge

Manage a large amount of dynamically changing material maintained under tight security control. The General public can view content that has been moved from behind the security perimeter of the HAN here at the 'Front Porch' of the website. 

Solution

The new site ( https://www.han.wisc.edu/ ) would have general navigation for My HAN (portal), About HAN, Contact HAN, HAN FAQs, Add to HAN, Feedback, Admin and Development. It would use database-driven web objects for managing Surveys, Directory, Libraries, Messages, Training, Presentations, Calendar, News and Links. Subscriptions, Site News and What's New (middle screen).
