• Description:
  "Welcome to the Journey: Sometimes, to truly appreciate how far we’ve come, we need to look back. Since its establishment in 2023, the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology (OPHDST) has been on a remarkable journey to enhance data capabilities through the Public Health Data Strategy (PHDS). As we reflect on this journey, we credit much of our progress to a dedicated team, not just in our office or at CDC, but across the public health ecosystem. Together, we are addressing the gaps in the public health data system to improve public health’s ability to detect and respond to new and emerging threats, improve health outcomes and promote health equity. This Lookback Report goes beyond merely recounting our achievements; it serves as a testament to the distance we’ve traveled. Please join us in sharing this reflection with your network and on social media as we acknowledge our progress in data modernization and look forward to what’s next!" — Jennifer Laydon, OPHDST Director
  
  Public Health Data Strategy: The Public Health Data Strategy is a focused, multi-year plan to bridge health data gaps and reduce the complexity of data exchange. The plan launched in 2023 with an ambitious set of 15 milestones. These time-limited markers are integral steps toward our broader vision, each contributing significantly to our journey of progress and innovation. At the end of the year, 12 milestones had been met while work continues on the remaining three. The strategy aligns with CDC’s efforts to build long-term accountability for critical core data sources including cases, laboratory results, emergency department visits, vital statistics, immunizations, hospital capacity and wastewater surveillance. It provides clarity for healthcare organizations, public health partners and the public on actions taken and progress achieved.
