To effectively identify and reduce the spread of communicable diseases and other health threats, public health departments need timely, standardized, and complete data from doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers. But this critical information is often incorrect, delayed, or simply unavailable, and a new report from The Pew Charitable Trusts helps shed some light on why.
