# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On July 14, 2021, the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS), Subcommittee on Privacy, Confidentiality, and Security, will seek input from experts to examine solutions for improving the security posture of the healthcare industry. At the hearing, the Subcommittee will hear from invited experts on the range of security challenges affecting the health care industry and business partners. The Subcommittee will also hear about the range of policy options that may be available to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and data stewards to improve the security posture of those organizations holding individually identifiable information (III), including federal, state, local, and tribal organizations.

The Committee will use this input to identify and describe the changing security landscape and risks to the privacy and security of III held by the health care industry and highlight promising policies, practices, and technologies. The Committee will lay out integrative models for how best to secure individually identifiable information while enabling beneficial uses, services, and technologies. The Committee will formulate recommendations for the Secretary on actions that HHS might take and prepare a report for the Secretary.

                    The Committee requests comments from the public in advance of the hearing to inform its deliberations and will consider them together with the input of subject matter experts at the hearing. Please submit comments to                     *NCVHSmail@cdc.gov*                     by close of business Tuesday, July 13, 2021. There also will be a public comment period at the meeting.
