Abstract: BioSense is the national, human health surveillance system designed to improve the nation's capabilities for disease detection, monitoring, and real-time health situational awareness. This work is enhanced by providing public health real-time access to existing data from healthcare organizations, state syndromic surveillance systems, national laboratories, and others for just in time public health decision-making; this information is made available to users in the BioSense Application. The Application provides charts, graphs, and maps through a secure Web-based interface which can be accessed by CDC and authorized state and local public health and hospital users. In order to meet the congressional mandate, the BioSense program must have access to electronic health data. This is done by recruiting potential information sources and arranging for the automated transfer of electronic data from these sources to CDC. Recruitment procedures include technical discussions and site visits to collect information on the types of facilities, computer systems used, and the type and volume of data available.
