Given the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, NAHDO will be conducting our 36th Annual Conference virtually (September 27 - October 8, 2021). This year's event will provide attendees with the latest information on the use of healthcare data to improve the health care system and the population's health and discuss critical issues related to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of healthcare data.

We are especially interested in providing sessions that will appeal to a broad range of attendees:
* Data Suppliers - Health Plans, Hospitals, Healthcare Systems
* Data Users - Academic Researchers, Policy Makers, Industry Consultants, Public Health
* Technical People - Database Managers and Administrators
* Entities Wanting to Link Various Data Sources
* Insurance Commissioners and Staff
* Groups that Support Patients and Healthcare Consumers

You can submit a proposal to present on any health data topic that is of interest to our target audiences, however, this year's priority topic areas are:
(1) Using Health Data to Measure the Impacts of COVID-19
(2) Working Toward Uniformity
(3) Data Linkage
(4) Addressing Variations in Health
(5) Privacy, Security, Data Access and Release
