国家卫生统计中心的国家生命统计系统收集、处理、编码和审查死亡证明数据，并以年度数据文件和报告的形式发布数据。随着2020年初新冠肺炎在全球的崛起，国家卫生统计中心动员起来，迅速响应日益增长的可靠、准确和完整的实时新冠肺炎死亡数据的需求。在美国首次报告病例后的几周内，NCHS制定了认证指南，调整了内部数据处理系统，并建立了一个监测系统，以发布每日更新的新冠肺炎死亡人数，以跟踪新冠肺炎大流行对美国死亡率的影响。这份报告描述了NCHS为应对新冠肺炎大流行而及时产生死亡数据所采取的过程。
The National Center for Health Statistics' (NCHS's) National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) collects, processes, codes, and reviews death certificate data and disseminates the data in annual data files and reports.With the global rise of COVID-19 in early 2020, the NCHS mobilized to rapidly respond to the growing need for reliable, accurate, and complete real-time data on COVID-19 deaths. Within weeks of the first reported US cases, NCHS developed certification guidance, adjusted internal data processing systems, and stood up a surveillance system to release daily updates of COVID-19 deaths to track the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on US mortality.This report describes the processes that NCHS took to produce timely mortality data in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
