Research information management in federal centers using the module  readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.  Then, respond to the following:

• How has public health informatics improved public health and public  health services offered to Americans over the last two decades? Describe  one example that supports this statement.
• How can current federal programs and mandates reshape the current  public health landscape? State and describe at least one federal program  or mandate. Explain how the program or mandate impacts public health  informatics. Support your rationale with appropriate scholarly  references.
