Surveillance and Data Projects
Advancements in connectivity and access to new data sources are unlocking information for better health.
Through the Data Modernization Initiative (DMI), CDC is creating a world in which data can move faster than disease. Projects to strengthen our foundational surveillance systems are significantly improving the data we use to find and face our biggest public health threats, including COVID-19, opioid overdose, suicide, influenza, and more.
Electronic Laboratory Reporting is being enhanced and modernized to better report notifiable conditions and address the surveillance and data needs of today.
Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) is bridging the electronic exchange of information between public health and healthcare for timely, accurate, and accessible disease surveillance.
The National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System is making it faster and easier for state health departments report notifiable disease data to CDC.
The National Vital Statistics System is transforming surveillance systems so they can deliver timelier and more accurate birth and death data when it matters most.
CDC’s National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) is making it easier for public health to receive early warning signals from health facilities such as emergency departments.
The Data Modernization Initiative Catalog of Data Resources supports jurisdictions with program planning through use of already available data to assess the current state of data modernization initiative program domains.
