National Syndromic Surveillance Program

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services (U.S.). Division of Health Informatics and Surveillance.
• Description:
  Syndromic surveillance provides public health officials with a timely system for detecting, understanding, and monitoring health events. By tracking symptoms of patients in emergency departments—before a diagnosis is confirmed—public health can detect unusual levels of illness to determine whether a response is warranted.
  
  NSSP is a collaboration among CDC, federal partners, local and state health departments, and academic and private sector partners who have formed a community of practice. They collect, analyze, and share electronic patient encounter data received from emergency departments, urgent and ambulatory care centers, inpatient healthcare settings, and laboratories.
