National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics: Meeting

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the following advisory 
committee meeting.
    Name: National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS), 
Full Committee and Population Health Subcommittee Meetings.
    Dates and Times:

Monday, September 11, 2017: 9:00 a.m.-5:45 p.m.
Tuesday, September 12, 2017: 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Wednesday, September 13, 2017: 8:45 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Thursday, September 14, 2017: 8:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m.

    Place: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Hubert H. 
Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue SW., Room 705A, Washington, 
DC 20201.
    Status: Open.
    Purpose: At the September 11-12, 2017 hearing, the Population 
Health Subcommittee will focus on Next Generation Vital Statistics. The 
purpose of the hearing is to assess the current state of the national 
vital statistics system (NVSS) to address concerns regarding 
sustainability and viability of the system infrastructure. The focus 
will be on the system's capacity to provide timely, high quality, 
secure vital administrative and statistical data for identity 
establishment and protection, identification of trends in disease and 
epidemics, e.g., the recent surge in opioid-related deaths, and a host 
of critical uses for research, finance, planning, public records and 
services.
    At the September 13-14, 2017 full meeting, the Committee will hear 
presentations, hold discussions on several health data policy topics 
and begin to formulate its work plan for 2018. To inform the work plan, 
the Committee will be briefed by the Commission on Evidence-based 
Policymaking (CEP) regarding the release of its report and 
recommendations as well as hear from HHS leadership regarding data 
needs and gaps. A panel will be held to discuss the new topic ``Beyond 
HIPAA,'' an exploration of challenges that extend beyond HIPAA and the 
range of policy options that may be available to the Department related 
to privacy, security and access measures to protect individually 
identifiable health information in an environment of electronic 
networking and multiple uses of data. Additional discussions are 
planned on the Predictability Roadmap project in follow up to a 
Standards Subcommittee workshop focused on possible approaches to 
improve the predictability and improvements in the adoption and 
processes related to updating standards and operating rules for 
electronic administrative transactions (e.g. claims, eligibility, 
electronic funds transfer); and on terminology & vocabulary 
development, maintenance, and dissemination processes. The Committee 
also plans to finalize the update to its strategic plan and selection 
criteria for undertaking new Committee projects. The times and topics 
are subject to change. Please refer to the posted agenda for any 
updates.
