The Pre-Conference
Workshops are professional development trainings that take place in
coordination with the annual ISDS conference. These community-generated
workshops are developed to address the professional needs of the disease
surveillance workforce. This year, there are four training options, with ‘Track
2: Public Health Surveillance and Policy Issues for Experts’ featured below.
This Workshop will
provide experienced public health surveillance professionals with a forum for
learning and discussing current topics and policies essential to public health
surveillance and an opportunity to collaborate with other experts in the field
to develop practical, concrete products and tools. It will include the
following: a panel discussion on non-communicable disease surveillance; a
series of roundtable discussions, including disaster surveillance/mass
gathering response; a follow-up discussion from the 2012 ISDS Conference on
(re)defining situational awareness; and break-out sessions to discuss and
summarize current policy topics, such as Meaningful Use (U.S.), International
Health Regulations (2005), and data sharing. Ultimately, this Workshop is intended
to leverage the collective expertise of the group to advance participants'
understanding and practice and to allow for a high-quality and seamless
translation of the knowledge gained in the Workshop within the participants'
organizations.
