Hi, Ed. Thanks for your info on health. Very timely!
Question for you: With the next census just a few years away, is there info starting to
be available on "add ons" as in past? I'm starting to think about how I can
prepare my agency, and get budget requests together.
Regards,

Subject: [H+T--Friends] Metrics That Matter for Population Health Action: Workshop
Summary
Also in today's TRB e-newletter.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has
released a report that summarizes the presentations and discussions from
a workshop to explore the status and uses of measures and measurement in
the work of improving population health. Participants explored existing
and emerging population health metric sets and characteristics of
metrics necessary for stakeholder action across multiple sectors. In
times of rapid change and constrained resources, measures that are
important, focused, and reliable are vital. However there is an
overabundance of measures available for evaluating various aspects of
population health and previous efforts to simplify existing sets to meet
the needs of all decision makers have been unsuccessful. TRB is part of
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which
provides independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and
conducts other activities to solve complex problems and inform public
policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research,
recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public
understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
