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).

CDC's Tick-borne Bite Dashboard Live

Hi All!

I wanted to provide an update on new place you can find AZ data contributing to a CDC public facing dashboard.  This new dashboard is looking at symptom based tick bite ED visits of interest in NSSP ESSENCE and provides regional visualization of the data in a map.  The data is also available broken down into age and sex.  Future updates will also include state aggregate visualizations.

Check out the website here: https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/tickedvisits/tick-bite-by-region.html


Additional information can be found in the NSSP CoP monthly Call From December 2020: https://vimeo.com/498397195

Big Thank Yous to all that assisted in the data sharing discussions on this topic.
