DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


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) 
Population Health Subcommittee Meeting.

Time and Date

November 17, 2015 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST
    Place: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center 
for Health Statistics, 3311 Toledo Road, Auditorium A and B, 
Hyattsville, Maryland 20782, (301) 458-4524.
    Status: Open.

Purpose

    On November 17, 2015, the NCVHS Population Health Subcommittee is 
holding a Workshop entitled ``Advancing Community-Level Core 
Measurement--Proposing a Roadmap for HHS.'' The Workshop objectives are 
to: Identify a balanced and parsimonious set of domains through which 
multi-sectoral community partnerships can assess, measure and improve 
local health and well-being, and; ultimately produce a proposed Roadmap 
for the Department of Health and Human Services to advance well-
informed, community-driven action by promoting such set of domains 
along with suggested measures to facilitate greater availability and 
use of data within communities.
    During the Workshop, participants will review the range of domains 
in current use for assessing community health and well-being with the 
aim of identifying a balanced set that encompasses the key determinants 
of health and that is consistent across all geographic levels. Recent 
efforts to streamline community health assessment have brought a new 
focus to the need to achieve parsimony in measuring health and well-
being. This Workshop aims to leverage the momentum of both recent and 
long-standing projects by the IOM, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 
(e.g., Community Health Rankings), data intermediary organizations, 
federal agencies (e.g., Community Health Status Indicators), state 
agencies, NCVHS, and others.
