• Description:
  Publication date from document properties. ; https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/bsc/bsc_minutes_apr07.pdf ; Discussion: The discussion centered on possibilities for NCHS to acquire sufficient ; funds to meet the needs to continue to collect high quality health data. The Social ; Security Administration, the National Institute on Aging and other Federal agencies ; need mortality data, and similarly, agencies need birth data. Could NCHS negotiate ; with other agencies to provide funds? NCHS staff reported that the agency already ; received a significant amount of funding from other agencies but that additional avenues ; could be explored. There was the belief expressed that there needs to be discussion at ; higher levels in Federal Government to examine priorities. Dr. Sondik reported that the ; Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Data Council can help with priority- ; setting, but its purview does not extend beyond DHHS and a broader consideration may ; be necessary. A suggestion was made to chart what must be done vs. what can be ; done by others or not done.
