    Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to provide an 
opportunity for the Population Health and Privacy, Confidentiality 
and Security Subcommittees to hear from data providers, users, and 
experts in health data on community uses of data to improve health. 
NCVHS seeks to: (1) Advance its understanding of access to and use 
of data by communities to improve population health; (2) refine its 
Stewardship Framework for the Use of Community Health to support the 
needs of various types of community initiatives; and (3) better 
understand the role of government in providing data, tools, and 
resources to promote community driven change.
    The agenda is organized for attendees to participate in breakout 
groups throughout the day exploring such topics and themes as ``How 
best to promote community engagement and participation,'' ``How to 
promote secure practices,'' ``How to achieve information-enabled 
community-driven change,'' ``What is the need for standardized 
approaches for generating qualitative information,'' and ending with 
``What analytic support can state and the Federal government 
provide.'' Participants will be briefed on the results of a 
preliminary environmental scan of programs supporting local 
community data use as well as key messages from the Committee's 
report: the Community as a Learning System: Using Local Data to 
Improve Local Health. http://www.ncvhs.hhs.gov/111213chip.pdf.
