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).

📢 ESSENCE CCDD Categories Processing

ESSENCE CCDD Categories Processing:  

The BioSense Platform is currently processing 22 new CCDD Categories. These new categories are processing through historical data and will not be fully ready for use until this historical processing is completed and cubes are rebuilt. Estimates show this will be approximately two weeks. Once cubes are rebuilt, a follow-up email will be sent from this same email address. Fact sheets for these definitions will be added to the ESSENCE CCDD Category table, followed by the Knowledge Repository at a later date.
