Abstract: The National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) promotes and advances development of a syndromic surveillance system for the timely exchange of syndromic data. NSSP features the BioSense Platform and a collaborative Community of Practice. NSSP provides syndromic surveillance practitioners access to and use of the cloud-based BioSense Platform, a secure integrated electronic public health information system with standardized analytic tools and processes. This revision decreased from 671 hours in the previous ICR to 54 hours because fewer sites are expected to be onboarded in the next 3 years than in the previous 3 years and fewer Site Administrators are expected to be added
