A New Consortium Gathers Insight and Perspective

As CDC began its next phase of data modernization, we recognized the opportunity to gather real-life input from partners on past challenges and future solutions.

In Spring 2022, CDC and the Office of the National Coordinator for Public Health Information Technology (ONC) launched the Consortium for Data Modernization to bring together a diverse group of voices from across government, public health, industry, and academia.

The Consortium offers CDC and partners a place to discuss the common challenges we share. For example, the group has been at the center of gathering input as we develop the North Star Architecture and improve public health data pipelines.

In 2023, the Consortium will continue to meet on critical issues – from data exchange, to core data sources and immunization systems, to non-infectious diseases, emergency response data, data governance, workforce development, and the future of public health surveillance.

The purpose of the Consortium is to only seek individual perspectives and experiences, not group consensus advice from partners. Consortium participation varies based on discussion topic.
