Description:
   HHS Data Council's Data Gaps Work Group was tasked with identifying data gaps encountered in responding to public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic and developing recommendations for addressing these data gaps. From October 2021 to April 2022, members of the Work Group conducted 82 semi-structured interviews with people involved in the HHS response to COVID-19. Based on these interviews, the Work Group identified data gaps related to the supply side of the healthcare system, specifically data on health and human services providers. The Work Group considered gaps in data gathered from individual providers and facilities. This report addresses (1) data requests from senior leadership, (2) data resources used in the pandemic response, (3) data gaps experienced during the pandemic, and (4) recommendations for addressing data gaps.
