ATLANTA, April 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention has added four coordinating centers and two national

offices as part of a major reorganization.

The Atlanta-based agency has also collapsed 40 national hotlines

into a single information line, a move it expects to save $35

million in the next seven years.

The new coordinating centers are Environmental Health and Injury

Prevention, Health Promotion, Infectious Diseases and Health

Information and Services. The new national offices are the National

Center for Public Health Informatics, aimed at using the latest

technology to translate scientific data into usable information, and

the National Center for Health Marketing, to provide information to

help the public make healthy decisions.

The CDC says it has also reduced administrative costs by $83

million, reallocating the money to research, and shifted 600 open

positions from administration to researchers, lab technicians and

other frontline workers.

" CDC announces major reorganization " . This is inappropriate terminology.

The word " reorganization " in this case refers, to redoing an already

established method of procedure.

A more appropriate statement would be: " CDC announces an attempt to get

organized in an effort actually accomphish something to protect the citizens of

the US, and acknowledges there was no organization prior to this current

attempt. "

" Public Health Informatics " ?

This sounds awfully like something that the great unificator would write.

However, if it gets the obviously deadwood administrative staff of the

CDC out and gathering ELISA samples, maybe something will come of this.
