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 Meeting.
    Date and Times: Thursday, September 13, 2018: 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. 
(EDT); Friday, September 14, 2018: 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. (EDT).
    Place: Melrose Georgetown Hotel, 2430 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20037.
    Status: Open.
    Purpose: At the September 13-14, 2018 meeting, the Committee will 
hear presentations, hold discussions on several health data policy 
topics and continue work on projects outlined in the NCVHS 2018 
workplan. Anticipated action items during this meeting include an 
Environmental Scan Report on Health Terminologies and Vocabularies (T/
V); and a summary report of the health T/V expert roundtable meeting 
held July 17-18, 2018. The NCVHS Population Health Subcommittee will 
hold a session with panelists to provide input to the Committee 
regarding strategies and resources/tools to increase access to small 
area data, and in general, the challenges in making relevant sub-
national level health data more readily available. Subcommittee 
activities for discussion include the Predictability Roadmap as part of 
the Standards Subcommittee's project to identify possible approaches to 
improve 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). The Privacy, Confidentiality & Security Subcommittee 
will continue its focus on use cases that highlight the intersection of 
the regulated and unregulated domains for its ``Health Information 
Privacy and Security Beyond HIPAA'' project, and will propose a model 
that depicts the opportunities to address risks to individually 
identifiable information through improved stewardship for consideration 
by the full Committee.
    The Committee will initiate discussion regarding plans for the 
NCVHS Thirteenth Report to Congress. The agenda times and topics are 
subject to change. There will be a public comment period on both 
meeting days. Please refer to the posted agenda for any updates.
