2018 National Health Security Preparedness Index
The 2018 Index is the fifth in a series of annual releases of data and analysis on national health security and preparedness. The first two Index releases in December 2013 and December 2014 were supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; beginning with the third release in April 2016, support for the Index was provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, with the Program Management Office located at the University of Kentucky. Expert workgroups provide input and feedback on Index production throughout the year, while a National Advisory Committee provides guidance to the Foundation and Program Management Office on strategic issues.
