This presentation introduces the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)). You will learn what the USCDI is, who publishes the USCDI and how it impacts Public Health interoperability. The presentation also covers USCDI+ and its relationship to USCDI. We also discuss how the Public Health community can contribute to the content of these programs to ensure that it meets the needs of the community.

Surveillance modernization efforts emphasize the potential use of electronic health record (EHR) data to inform public health surveillance and prevention. However, EHR data streams vary widely in their completeness, accuracy, and representativeness. This publication describes a validation process developed by the Multi-State EHR-Based Network for Disease Surveillance (MENDS) pilot project to identify and resolve data quality issues that could affect chronic disease prevalence estimates.
