Bill > S3545

This bill, the Improving Data Accessibility Through Advancements in Public Health Act (or the Improving DATA in Public Health Act), aims to enhance public health data accessibility and sharing. It amends the Public Health Service Act to expand the selection of data and technology standards, improve information sharing and availability of public health data, establish a Public Health Information Sharing and Availability Advisory Committee, and provide funding to identify and disseminate best practices for capturing and using electronic health information. The bill also exempts certain public health data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from public disclosure requirements. Overall, the bill seeks to improve the quality, completeness, and accessibility of public health data, particularly demographic and other relevant information, to support public health efforts and address health disparities.
