AZ BioSense Community of Practice

The mission of the Arizona BioSense Workgroup is to work collaboratively as partners to build capacity and quality of BioSense syndromic surveillance in Arizona. Our vision is to improve population health and emergency response through the use of timely and effective syndromic surveillance. This space is a platform for our members to continue discussions and share cross-role topics and questions from providing the data to using syndromic data (clinician/IT/public health).

We are using syndromic surveillance data to monitor methanol poisonings related to hand sanitizers in the state as well as fulfilling a data request from the National Weather Service Phoenix office to inform them on the heat-related illness ED visits for the 2020 heat season.
