Proposed Project: Public Input to Nominate Non-Federal Health and
Health Care Data Sets and Applications for Listing on Healthdata.gov--
OMB No. 0990-NEW--Immediate Office of the Secretary, Office of the
Chief Technology Officer.
Abstract: The Department of Health and Human Services is promoting
the use of health and health care datasets that are not specific to
individual's personal health information to improve decision making by
individuals, organizations, and governments through better
understanding of the data. Federal agencies are making health indicator
datasets (data that is not associated with any individuals) and tools
available for use by the public through a web portal community known as
healthdata.gov or http://www.data.gov/health. These datasets and tools
are anticipated to benefit development of applications, web-based
tools, and other electronic resources improve community action for
health and health care. The development of tools, reference sets,
dashboards, and electronic data visualization methods serve to provide
context and understanding to complex health and health care data.
[[Page 4905]]
To broaden the type and amount of data available for these
purposes, HHS is soliciting public input on nominations of non-Federal
health and health data indicator datasets and applications using them
to improve health and health data. For example, health indicator
datasets representing surveys conducted by state government or private
organizations may be considered as high-value datasets among
researchers, applications developers, and others.
