This document provides testing clarification for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) PHIN Messaging Guide for Syndromic Surveillance: Emergency Department and Urgent Care Data, Release 1.1.
This addendum consolidates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) PHIN Messaging Guide for Syndromic Surveillance: Emergency Department and Urgent Care Data, Release 1.1 (PHIN MG) information and clarifies existing conformance requirements. Conformance statements and conditional predicates that clarify message requirements are presented below. Value set requirements, general clarifications, and PHIN MG errata are also provided in this addendum.

ISDS is kicking off the year with a webinar to review highlights from the 2016 Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA. If you attended the conference, we invite you to come share and learn more about initiatives sprung from the conference, and to discuss how best to continue moving them ahead. If you were unable to attend the conference, please join us to hear from our Conference Chairs about session highlights and key takeaways. We will also be discussing post-conference evaluation findings and informally collecting feedback for next year's conference.
This annotated bibliography summarizes close to 50 articles on syndromic surveillance using EHR data from hospital and ambulatory settings. The bibliography is a valuable resource for both practitioners and researchers as they continue to assess the feasibility and utility of using new types of clinical data for syndromic surveillance analyses. As Meaningful Use progresses it is increasingly important to understand both the potential and the limitations of using ambulatory and hospital data for these purposes.
Sent on March 3, 2014, this letter summarizes the ISDS Board of Directors' response to preliminary recommendations that Laboratory Reporting and Syndromic Surveillance be removed as core measures for Eligible Hospitals in Stage 3 Meaningful Use. The letter strongly opposes this initial recommendation.
ISDS started the One Health Surveillance Workgroup (OHS WG) to engage its members in the advancement of this important and topical field. We define OHS as the "collaborative, on-going, systematic collection and analysis of data from multiple domains to detect health related events and produce information which leads to actions aimed at attaining optimal health for people, animals, and the environment."
Surveillance professionals from six states and one local public health agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Region 1 planned and attended the 2-day Workshop. Workshop attendees elected to explore how data sharing can support influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance between regional jurisdictions, and the core activity on Day 1 focused on that purpose.
