Goals and Objectives
Develop a Roadmap for Local Data Modernization Priorities Aligned to the Future of Public Health Data
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology (OPHDST) shares its vision for the future of public health data and how it will support state, tribal, local, territorial health departments (STLTs) —particularly big city health departments (HDs)—in their work to achieve that vision.
- Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC) member jurisdictions share their data modernization goals and needs with OPHDST.
- OPHDST and BCHC members articulate priority actions to meet the needs of big city HDs to execute the public health data strategy.
