Abstract:

Empirical biosurveillance systems frequently use temporal and geographic contexts to establish a baseline against which to compare recent data. Numerous varieties of data types are used in varying levels of geographic scope across levels of public health. There are many components all of which must develop and function in concert in order for success in early event detection or situational awareness. A brief background and history of what has been done in this area at CDC will be presented with an update of the BioSense Program.
