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).

  • Training for new users and demos of ESSENCE
  • Setting up myESSENCE dashboards for users for HRI
  • Working with users who validated the wildfire syndromes and NSSP to incorporate so that they can be turned into CCDD categories.
  • Working with ADHS Climate & Health/Drinking Water/Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, NSSP, JHU, NOAA to improve completeness of weather station data, especially during heat season.

Krystal,
On a recent email thread I noticed a response from Tanya Baker. I want to pass along that Tanya no longer works for, nor represents Navajo County. If she’s part of this group, we’d like to ask that she be removed, unless she’s now with another organization who’s part of this project. Can you please look into this and provide me with an update?
Thank you,
Janelle
