The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) 2008 Data Users
Conference is being held from August 11 through August 13 at the Omni
Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. This free conference is held
biennially to bring the latest information on NCHS data to researchers

This year we are excited to have Dr. Peter Orszag, Director of the

We've asked him to reflect on emerging challenges in health policy that
require new data or new uses for existing data, both from NCHS and other
organizations.
All of the NCHS data systems will be represented with informational
sessions, hands-on workshops and exhibits.
There is no charge for the conference, but registration is required.
