  Discussion about Natality Review and next steps--June O'Neill summarized the status
  
  of the BSC Natality review. She said that a large issue for the review panel was
  
  inadequate funding to fully implement the new birth certificates. Steve Schwartz said
  
  that NCHS knew there wasn't adequate funding to implement the certificates in all of the
  
  States but went ahead with implementation anyway. The result is that there is no
  
  uniform national dataset. Irma Elo reported that NCVHS was very concerned as well
  
  about lack of a uniform national dataset. Discussion centered on the question of the
  
  most effective way to have avoided and now to solve the problem. Should the BSC
  
  send a letter to the Secretary through Dr. Gerberding? Should NCHS have
  
  recommended to the Secretary that the new certificates not be implemented without
  
  adequate funding for full implementation?
  
  The BSC agreed that the next step in the Natality review process would be to ask the
  
  Natality review committee to respond to the comments from the NCHS Division of Vital
  
  Statistics to their report. The BSC would then wrap up the natality review at the April
  
  BSC meeting. The final version of the report should 1) correct any misstatements of
  
  fact identified by DVS; 2) highlight any outstanding differences between the review
  
  committee's conclusions and the DVS response; 3) frame issues in terms of scientific
  
  issues, not political/funding issues; and 4) include "lessons learned" to help facilitate
  
  improvements in the future.
