Influenza is not a notifiable disease in Kansas; patient-level influenza data is not reported to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Kansas’ primary method of influenza surveillance is the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet), a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments. During the 2014-2015 influenza surveillance period (September 28, 2014 through May 16, 2015), 35 health care providers (20 family practice clinics, nine hospital emergency departments, four university student health centers, and two pediatric clinics) served as ILINet sites. Providers were instructed to report the previous week’s influenzalike illness (ILI) data, including the number of patients who met the ILI case definition and the total number of patients seen, by 11:00 AM each Tuesday. An average of 16 providers (45%) met the deadline each week.

Objective

Measure the correlation between Influenza-like Illness (ILI) data collected by the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet) and the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) in Kansas for the 2014-2015 influenza surveillance period.

The DoD provides daily outpatient and emergency room data feeds to the BioSense Platform within NSSP, maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This data includes demographic characteristics and diagnosis codes for health encounter visits of Military Health System beneficiaries, including active duty, active duty family members, retirees, and retiree family members. NSSP functions through collaboration with local, state, and federal public health partners utilizing the BioSense Platform, an electronic health information system.

Objective

The Department of Defense data is available to National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) users to conduct syndromic surveillance. This report summarizes the demographic characteristics of DoD health encounter visits.

Join Michael Coletta, CDC Program Manager, for a presentation on the CDC National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP - formerly known as BioSense). Following a thorough review of the BioSense Program in 2013, CDC initiated the BioSense Enhancement Initiative (BEI) which builds on the past successes, while addressing areas that need improvement, allowing for a national view of syndromic surveillance that will provide many additional public health benefits.

NSSP Onboarding has historically been a very labor intensive and manual process that requires a great deal of guidance and time investment from NSSP Onboarding Team members. In order to meet future demand, Jurisdictions will play a greater role in managing the onboarding of local facilities.

The objective for the next year is to begin creating resources that jurisdictions can use to help facilities perform self-guided onboarding.

To begin the process, the onboarding team is documenting the onboarding discussions and processes.
