This presentation walks the Arizona health departments through the process of onboarding and references available documentation to assist in the process.
Standard
The International Health Regulations (2005) came into effect in 2007 and mandate that each signatory country be capable of detecting, analyzing, reporting, and responding to a public health event of international concern by 2012. Some countries are capable of this at present, but these are generally clustered in resource-limited settings. Many more countries will not be fully capable of compliance by 2012, some because of insufficient surveillance systems.
Join the ISDS Public Health Practice Committee for a special meeting with Dr. Farzad Mostashari, the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and founding president of ISDS. Following a brief discussion with Dr. Mostashari about Meaningful Use, the committee will then host Ms. Mary Hamilton, a lead developer of the CDC's PHIN Syndromic Surveillance Messaging Guide which translates recommendations made by ISDS for Meaningful Use. Ms. Hamilton will provide a practical overview of the guide and discuss how to use this resource in practice.
Presenters
ISDS, in cooperation with the Community for Population and Public Health Measures (COPHM), is pleased to announce an upcoming webinar to be held on June 13th. The purpose of this webinar is to inform ISDS members, EHR technology developers, and public health informaticists about the Syndromic Surveillance Reference Implementation. This tool has been designed to enable communications between two organizations or between an organization and the BioSense 2.0 system.
These slides detail the process of onboarding syndromic surveillance data into BioSense for the state of Arizona.
This guide offers standardized specifications to Eligible Hospitals (EHs) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) for the electronic transfer of Syndromic Surveillance (SS) data from hospital Certified Electronic Health Records technology (CEHRT) to the BioSense 2.0 system for SS reporting. This guide will provide an overview of the type of data being collected, the suppliers of the data, the system collecting the information, and the format needed for successful submission of Syndromic Surveillance data to ADHS.

Description
The purpose of this document is to define the core of PHSS practice and the minimum EHR data requirements widely used to support the core. This recommendation provides the CDC and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), with business requirements that will support Meaningful Use stakeholders in meeting the Stage 1 public health surveillance objective.

Description
A health information interchange architecture (HIIA) defines the attributes of a data sharing relationship between two parties. In the context of electronic syndromic surveillance (ESS), this refers to the standards, tools, and means to securely transport an ESS message from a sender (typically an Electronic Health Record, or EHR, system from a healthcare provider) to a recipient (typically a public health agency). The HIIA must support the set of business processes defined for ESS in the 2011 ISDS Final Recommendation: Core Processes and EHR Requirements for Public Health Syndromic Surveillance Report 1 and function with the available infrastructures both within public health and the larger healthcare system.
Objective
In support of national efforts to modernize and enhance health information system interoperability for public health purposes, this report seeks to clarify electronic health information interchange requirements for public health syndromic surveillance by providing: • An assessment of various health information interchange architectures for their ability to meet syndromic surveillance business requirements (See Appendix); • A comparison of potential data transport mechanisms; and • Recommendations for data transport to support Meaningful Use implementation
