Questions of Vital Statistics for the 21st Century Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics
Future State -Federal Responsibilities and Partnerships Should they remain the same? What about local registration? Should vital statistics remain tied to vital registration? Should vital events be a reportable entity required to be reported to Federal Government? Should Feds pay for data or support state systems which provide that data?
Electronic Vital Registration Systems Do we automate existing processes or initiate new processes through automation? How do we improve care givers perceptions of the importance of data placed in vital records ? Is mortality surveillance through vitals just a pipe dream? Should states be required to use Federally certified vital registration systems ?
Electronic Health Records and Vital Records Should vital records be the bookends for EHRs ? If so, can we assure comparability of data as it is aggregated? If so do we need to collect each vital event in all its detail at the Federal level? What opportunities will we have for vital statistics follow-back surveys?
Whatever Happened to Marriage and Divorce in Vital Statistics Should this remain a responsibility of NCHS? Should it be the responsibility of the Census? Or are surveys such as the NSFG more appropriate by placing these events in context of family formation and health?
