HHS Data Inventory

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes the HHS Data Inventory—a comprehensive metadata catalog of public and non-public data assets across the Department—in accordance with the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act, Pub. L. 115-435). This inventory enhances information discovery, data usability, and government transparency by providing public visibility into data assets from all HHS Divisions. When more people access and use the data, we have more collective ability to identify gaps, errors, or other problems with this HHS metadata. Your feedback and suggestions will help HealthData.gov to expeditiously improve metadata quality and underlying data that matters most to you, and HHS commits to continuous improvements to information quality.
