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).

Used for information for schools to help make decisions about in-person, hybrid, or online instruction. Also used to answer media about hospital status.

Do you have a visualization of what was shown to make these types of decisions?
Mare Schumacher
Yes and I can send, but we just cut'n'paste the CLI count or percent chart from our ESSENCE page and put it in Powerpoint with a whole bunch of caveats.
Krystal Collier, Syndromic Surveillance Program Coordinator
I think that would still work for what the request is.  It's realistic and shows the use of the actual tools.
