• The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/otheract/phdsc/phdsc.htm and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) are sponsoring the Public Health Data Standards Consortium to help ensure public health and health services research data needs are addressed by the national data standards organizations named in the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). A list-serv that is open to all interested parties has been established for discussion of public health data needs not currently addressed by national standards groups. For example, the Consortium has already urged inclusion of race/ethnicity in healthcare billing data. MHSIP, CMHS and the Workgroup for the Computerization of Behavioral Health and Human Services Records were represented at the latest meeting held March 21, 2000.

  in small-area epidemiology since 1997, and now have a directly surveyed
