The cornerstone of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s (CDC) and the Nation’s public health system at all levels is timely and high
quality data and information for achieving the public health mission. CDC and its partners need to apply
the necessary leadership, focus, resources, and follow through to do the right things and do them well.
Federal, State, and local governmental partnerships are key to success.
The Council’s general charter is to:
- generate new cross-cutting information and IT proposals
- oversee the development of the agency’s enterprise architecture (EA)
- recommend agency-wide requirements, policies, & investments
- develop agency-wide standards, guidance, and procedures
- evaluate, monitor or oversee initiatives, programs, or projects
- serve as the primary forum to coordinate review and engagement on agency information and IT issues
such as HHS Data Council, HIPAA, OMB data and information policies, and Standards Development
Organization actions, e.g. HL 7.
In addition, CDC’s primary state and local public health partners, i.e., the Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials
(NACCHO) are invited as members, and ASTHO and its affiliates will develop a process to assure relevant
representation from the affiliate organizations.
