BioSense
BioSense is a program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designed to track health issues as they develop and provide public health officials with essential data, information, and tools to better prepare for and manage responses to safeguard and improve the health of Americans.
By integrating local and state-level information, the CDC offers a timely and cohesive picture at the regional and national levels, improving BioSense's utility. The key components of the BioSense program redesign are:
- Building health monitoring infrastructure and workforce capacity at state, local, tribal, and territorial levels
- Facilitating information exchange to coordinate responses and monitor health outcomes
- Retaining BioSense's original purpose to detect and characterize health-related threats early
- Expanding BioSense data utility for public health situational awareness and routine practice
- Improving the detection of emergency health threats by enhancing alert systems
- Increasing local and state participation in BioSense
- Leveraging advances in science and technology
BioSense Mandate and Establishment
Mandated by the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness Response Act of 2002, the CDC BioSense Program was launched in 2003 to establish an integrated national public health surveillance system for early detection and rapid assessment of potential bioterrorism-related illnesses.[1]
BioSense 2.0
 | This kept on wikipedia needs to be updated. Please update this kept on wikipedia to reflect recent events or newly available information. (May 2015) |
By November 2011, the redesigned BioSense (BioSense 2.0) developed a community-controlled, cloud-based environment governed by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), coordinating with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). ASTHO offers this service to states for managing syndromic surveillance information.
The cloud-based BioSense 2.0 allows State and Local health departments to access data supporting syndromic surveillance system expansions under the Meaningful Use program. States electing to use this utility control secure zones to manage and share their syndromic surveillance information.[2]
