Shakeup at CDC with plans focus on sharing scientific findings and data more quickly to the public and improving health communications in a plan to reform the agency.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will focus on sharing scientific findings and data more quickly to the public and improving health communications in a plan to reform the agency, said the CDC's director, Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH.The plan is a response to a 1-month review conducted by officials from the US Health Resources and Services Administration.
The review included interviews with 120 staff and external stakeholders. It ultimately identified five main goals for the CDC to achieve: Promote results-based partnerships and address limitations in a siloed approach to public health issues.The announcement also noted that the agency would be focusing more on swiftly issuing public health guidance, rather than publishing scientific articles.
Mary Wakefield, who served as the acting deputy secretary the US Department of Health and Human Services from 2015 to 2017 under President Barack Obama, has been appointed to lead the team to help achieve these goals.
