SDP Content-Based Routing Service
State and local health departments are busy tracking and monitoring illness, injuries, and outbreaks. Those that collect such data submit it to CDC in multiple ways through multiple disease surveillance systems.
The Content-Based Routing Service cuts down on this work—enabling health departments to send data transmissions to a single receiving point and to combine related data into consolidated data feeds for CDC programs. A shared information technology service, working behind the scenes at CDC, automatically examines the data, and securely sends it to the correct programs across the agency.
The service initially focused on routing disease case notification messages to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) and Emerging Infections Program (EIP).
How It Works
- Step 1 – Data Submission: Health departments submit data to CDC.
- Step 2 – Computer Inspects and Sorts Data: CDC’s Content-Based Routing Service looks at data and routes it to the appropriate CDC programs or systems.
- Step 3 – Sender is Contacted: If issues prevent delivery of data, the sender will be contacted to resolve the problem and resubmit.
- Step 4 – Data Used to Protect People: CDC or state disease detectives use data to update alerts, recommendations, or implement targeted programs to protect the American public.
