Summary:

Paragraph or two summary or 1 paragraph and 5-7 bullets

PHA/PHL- identified impacts:

  • A large state PHA is concerned that green ceilings don’t match their decor

  • A territory PHA is concerned about redefining urgent - significant workflow impacts

  • NYC (if willing to be IDed directly, consider naming?) is concerned that this would effectively end their productive relationship with their city HIEs

  • A mid-size midwestern PHL cannot do this work without additional funding and asks if CDC has comments/thoughts on potential funding mechanisms

  • etc.

    • What are your concerns about changes to disease reporting? What would help you? Could you talk about problems you face today with dz reporting?

  • (fake) this new department would be able to get your data first

    • What are your concerns about getting access to your data after this new department?

    • etc.
