Efforts to describe and improve quality in public health are closely tied to disease surveillance systems and capabilities. This roundtable will engage participants around how a new national framework for public health quality relates to their work in surveillance. The audience will be invited to provide examples, from their experience, of feasible and practical variables to measure the priority public health aims; data sources; and gaps that are impeding progress in quality improvement. This roundtable will inform a new initiative to develop measures that resonate with the roles of public health at the local, state, federal and global levels.
