Section VI. Next Steps for Phase II of Developing Healthy People 2020

The Advisory Committee has already begun its work on Phase II of the Healthy People 2020 objective development process. Early discussions have addressed issues such as criteria for selecting objectives, setting targets for objectives, and ongoing maintenance of objectives. In the coming months, the Advisory Committee will provide ongoing advice to the HHS Secretary on topics such as: principles for formatting and writing objectives for Healthy People 2020; additional guidance on user needs for Healthy People 2020; guidance about implementation strategies to be included in Healthy People 2020; and specifications for a set of system requirements for the proposed database. The Advisory Committee will meet in Washington, D.C. in January of 2009 to discuss some of these issues.
