NSSP’s BioSense Platform hosts the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE)—a system that will let you analyze events of public health interest, monitor healthcare data for events that could affect public health, and share data and analyses.

This Quick Start Guide supports NSSP ESSENCE v.1.20 and will help you access and navigate the system’s main features. This guide is NOT intended to be a comprehensive user’s manual.

The National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) promotes and advances development of the cloud-based BioSense Platform, a secure integrated electronic health information system that hosts standardized analytic tools and facilitates collaborative processes. The BioSense Platform is a product of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
