CDC’s vision expands on modernization efforts and focuses on critical components to advance data for public health action to equitably protect health, safety and security. The Public Health Data Strategy (PHDS) has put us on a path to achieve our vision by outlining the data, technology, policy and administrative actions needed to exchange critical core data efficiently and securely across health care and public health.
We are taking a coordinated “one public health” approach to making our processes smoother and technology more integrated and flexible, while ensuring that every part of the public health ecosystem is advancing towards the future.
CDC is collaborating to provide support for data modernization in state, tribal, local, and territorial jurisdictions. We will connect public health to health IT, reduce silos of data, outdated technology and lagging skills. Working together to advance data for public health action, we’re amplifying the nation’s ability to respond to public health challenges and achieve better health outcomes for all.
CDC’s Public Health Data Strategy outlines pragmatic steps toward realizing this future. It is a blueprint for action, setting clear milestones for short-term progress while paving the way for the long-term transformation of our public health data infrastructure.
Measurable 2024 PHDS milestones include:
Over the next several years, CDC aims to reach ambitious goals and milestones to better connect healthcare and public health.
