Purpose
The purpose of this document is to standardize and formalize the process for adding new and updating existing syndrome definitions (CCDD Categories) in the NSSP-ESSENCE instance of the BioSense platform. While jurisdictions that maintain their own local versions of ESSENCE do not need to follow this process, this can still serve as a guidance document for best practices when developing new or updating existing definitions.
