Appendix

Scope of RCMT

• June 2011 deliverables– Start with NNDs

• NNDs generally represent conditions that are reportable in jurisdictions that account for at least 50% of the US population

• List is known• Can build on CSTE TIG work

– If time is available, move on to non-NNC reportable conditions, prioritized in a similar manner

Scope of RCMT

• Address in subsequent stages– Conditions for which coordination with other

initiatives is required (e.g., Cancer, NHSN, Syndromic)

– Genetic testing beyond core newborn screening tests
