What is PHIA?
PHIA, the Public Health Information Alliance, is a partnership between the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) and the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD). The goal of the project is to raise public health workers' awareness of information resources and to decrease barriers to use by enhancing access to knowledge-based information, document delivery, reference assistance, user education and consultation. Who Can Use PHIA? All ACHD employees are eligible to register with HSLS and use the resources and services provided under PHIA. PHIA Funding PHIA was initially funded by a grant from the National Library of Medicine Access to Electronic Health Information grant program. After August 31, 2004 that grant ended, but the program continues with funding from ACHD and from the University of Pittsburgh Center for Public Health Practice.
