• Description:
  This memorandum summarizes changes to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) based upon position statements approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) at their annual meeting in June 2019, as well as other relevant updates. Please share this letter with surveillance and informatics staff in your jurisdiction who are responsible for collection or submission of NNDSS data to CDC. The NNDSS website is expected to be updated in mid-December 2019 with information relevant for surveillance year 2020, and will include the 2020 list of nationally notifiable conditions, the 2020 event code list, and new and revised 2020 surveillance case definitions. The 2020 NNDSS event code list will be available in the HL7 Case Notification Resource Center on the MMG Related Documentation page. The Downloads and Resources page on the NNDSS website will include the 2020 Notification Requirements for National Notifiable Conditions, the 2020 MMWR Weeks Calendar, the List of Notifiable Conditions Historically by Year, and copies of Letters to State and Territorial Epidemiologists about NNDSS updates. Links to NNDSS notifiable infectious and noninfectious disease and condition data are available on the NNDSS Data and Statistics website.
