The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is putting itself in a better position to handle future health emergencies with its new data-driven Moving Forward strategy. CDC Deputy CIO Jason Bonander said the goal is make it easier for state and local partners as well as health care providers to share data in one centralized place rather than delivering the information through multiple formats and systems. Bonander highlights the role culture plays in public health decision-making and how the agency’s data efforts are addressing health equity and bridging the gaps.
