This syndrome was created to query NSSP ESSENCE on Rabies Exposure and Rabies PEP S
Syndromic Surveillance System - NSSP ESSENCE
Data source - Emergency Room Visits
Fields used - Chief Complaint History and Discharge Diagnosis History OR CCDD (an ESSENCE-concatenated field of Chief Complaint and Discharge Diagnosis)
This syndrome was created to query ESSENCE for KS ED visits potentially associated with Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM). Diagnosis codes were provided to KDHE by a CDC AFM contact and originally included approximately 100 codes that could encompass most presentations of AFM. This code reflects a shortened list selecting those codes deemed most likely to accurately reflect AFM.

The Florida Department of Health electronically receives hospital emergency department (ED) data from 180 EDs located in 54 of its 67 counties through its Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE-FL). Florida EDs have begun to offer self-registration options to patients, which include ED self check-in kiosks, and pre-visit registration smartphone applications and websites. ESSENCE-FL receives ED data from multiple hospitals that use these patient self-registration methods. To date, limited investigation has been carried out to determine the impact of these self-registration methods on the data submitted to ESSENCE-FL. This project investigates and describes how SS data are affected by these options and provides possible best practices for identifying and analyzing these data.
Objective
To assess the effect of patient self-registration methods in hospital emergency departments on data in a syndromic surveillance (SS) system and provide suggestions for analysis of these data.
This syndrome was developed for enhanced surveillance during the 2017 Lost Lake Music Festival in Phoenix, Arizona. The syndrome queries chief complaint terms related to the event, venue and performing artists.
This syndrome was developed for enhanced surveillance during a 2017 U.S. President rally in Phoenix, Arizona. Terms were included based on events at previous rallies in other cities. The query was created using chief complaint field in NSSP ESSENCE.
This syndrome was developed for enhanced surveillance during the National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four games and related events in Maricopa County in 2017. In addition to the Final four games, Maricopa County hosted several related events including a multi day music festival and Fan Fest. The query was developed in NSSP ESSENCE using chief complaint terms for the events, venues, participating teams, and performing artists
This syndrome was created as a part of the Arboviral Syndromic Surveillance Project in Arizona, which includes bi-weekly monitoring of syndromic data to enhance traditional arboviral surveillance. The syndrome was developed using BioSense 2.0 phpMyAdmin and later transitioned to ESSENCE. The syndrome queries chief complaint and discharge diagnosis code
