                health data, data standards, statistics, privacy, national health
                information policy, and the Department's strategy to best address those
                issues. At the March 31-April 1, 2021, meeting, the Committee will
                receive updates from HHS officials, hold discussions on current health
                data policy topics, and discuss its work plan for the upcoming period.
                 The Chair will facilitate discussion of the Committee's draft
                Fourteenth Report to Congress. The Subcommittee on Standards will
                discuss plans for furthering work on convergence of administrative and
                clinical data standards. The Subcommittee on Privacy, Confidentiality,
                and Security will follow up on its September 2020 hearing on data
                collection and use with respect to privacy and security during the
                pandemic and discuss plans for the next topic on which the Subcommittee
                will develop recommendations. In addition, the Committee anticipates
                briefings on current projects directly relevant to the Committee's
                work, such as new standards for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)

                coding.
