Shaping a health statistics vision for the 21st century; policy makers summary, November 2002

Details

• Description:
  Building a health statistics enterprise that can fully support informed decision-making requires a number of interconnected conceptual, structural, and functional changes in our current system. They are described briefly below and discussed more fully in Shaping a Health Statistics Vision for the 21st Century, a new report developed through a two-year, national consultative process. The process involved more than 200 policy makers, public health and health care professionals, health statistics practitioners, researchers, and others in a wide range of locations in the United States. The National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS), the National Center for Health Statistics (CDC/NCHS), and the Data Council of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) coordinated the process and produced the report. NCVHS recommendations for translating the vision into practice are attached to the report.
