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).

SyS State of Mind

This is a video to prepare learners to look at public health surveillance through a SyS lens by (a) exploring the common data sources and methods that define SyS practice, and (b) querying data and crafting syndromes for many public health problems. By the end of the session, participants will be able to describe the general process to categorize records into syndromes, apply characteristics of SyS data when assessing SyS results, and distinguish between which public health issues are and are not well suited for SyS.
