CDC Data Modernization Initiative and Public Health Data Strategy Overview

Dr. Jen Layden, the director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, gave an overview of the CDC Data Modernization Initiative and Public Health Data Strategy. She emphasized the need for transformation in public health and a unified approach to address the challenges and improve outcomes. The goal is to have connected and interoperable systems that can transfer data in near real-time to be used by clinicians, local health departments, state health departments, and national level organizations. The data modernization effort has already shown positive impacts, such as faster electronic case reporting and syndromic surveillance. The public health data strategy aims to prioritize strengthening core data sources, supporting state and local jurisdictions, improving data packaging and interpretation, and achieving interoperability across public health systems. Dr. Layden highlighted the importance of engaging with various stakeholders and considering the needs of end users in developing solutions. Collaboration and partnerships are crucial to achieving the bold goals set for public health data modernization.
