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).

Data Delay for Oro Valley Hospital, Western Arizona Regional Medical Center and Dignity Health Facilities - Resolved

Hi Everyone,

Oro Valley Hospital and Western Arizona Regional Medical Center experienced a data delay over the weekend. The issue has been resolved by the EHR vendor, however, it may take 24-48 hours for the data to backfill and become viewable in ESSENCE.

Dignity Health facilities also experienced a data delay over the weekend. They did not send data for 10/30, however we are also seeing a processing issue that is preventing data received on 10/31 and 11/1 to show in ESSENCE. We are working to resolve this.

Please reach out to our team at syndromicsurveillance@azdhs.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
