Data Can Move Faster than Disease

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed expectations for public health, especially the speed at which credible health information is delivered, wrote the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Throughout the pandemic, the CDC has been improving the timeliness, completeness, and quality of critical data for the response.

Through the Data Modernization Initiative, the CDC empowered 'data to move faster than a disease.' 

Updated on March 31, 2023, a series of Weekly Review issues coinciding with the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (May 2023) and what it means for CDC and the data reported.
