Description

In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)developed an electronic syndromic surveillance system called BioSense that uses health-related data to identify patterns of disease symptoms prior to specific diagnoses. In late 2007, CDC began to redesign the program to improve collaboration with stakeholders and address identified management weaknesses. This report evaluated the BioSense program, focusing on the cost and timeline estimates and performance measures and benchmarks for implementing the program, among other objectives. To accomplish this, the author analyzed relevant program documentation and interviewed CDC officials responsible for developing and implementing BioSense. Illus.
