CDC’s Data Modernization Initiative starts with a white paper

In September 2019, The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) released a deBeaumont funded, white paper titled, “Driving Public Health in the Fast Lane: The Urgent Need for a 21st Century Data Superhighway.”,

Then justified by the pandemic, the CDC uses CARES Act funding to promote their Data Modernization Initiative (DMI),  the Public Health 21st Century Surveillance Superhighway.

On June 6, 2022 the CDC shuts down their National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) for an upgrade – which allowed the CDC to “Short and Reassign Death Records” such as for cancer, excess deaths and SADS. [1]
