The
surveillance resources on these pages are maintained by the
Office of Surveillance, NCID. The three primary functions
of this office are
- Program
coordination involving the Emerging Infections Program
network (EIP), the sentinel networks, and the Epidemiology
and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) cooperative agreements;
- Surveillance
integration and informatics activities, particularly
working with the CDC Health Information Systems and Surveillance
Board (HISSB) integration project, including development
of electronic laboratory-based reporting (ELR); and
- Analytic
activities, including public health economics, work
on the burden of infectious diseases and apply analytic
methods to surveillance.
Our
key partners include: NCID programs; other parts of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, particularly groups coordinating
and integrating surveillance activities; health departments,
especially those in the EIP network and the ELC cooperative
agreements; and partners outside of public health, including
participants in the emerging infections sentinel networks,
clinical laboratories, health informatics standards development
organizations, and health care organizations. |
