Call for Potential Uses of Public Health Syndromic Surveillance Data

The new Syndromic Surveillance Meaningful Use: Inpatient and Ambulatory Care Data project seeks to expand ISDS's previous Meaningful Use recommendation through a community consensus-driven process. ISDS is currently seeking input from surveillance professionals to determine primary purposes of public health syndromic surveillance (PHSS) and the data elements needed from inpatient and ambulatory clinical care setting. 


By filling out a brief questionnaire about the potential uses of public health syndromic surveillance data, you can contribute to the development of this important new Meaningful Use recommendation. 

Please take a few moments to fill out Potential Uses of Public Health Syndromic Surveillance Data questionnaire (link).

Your input is greatly appreciated and will be essential to the development of a consensus-driven recommendation. 


Please submit your responses no later than Friday, November 18, 2011.
