Abstract

The growing automation of healthcare information affects surveillance systems that depend on information arising from healthcare use. Changing communications technologies and styles affect population health surveys. CDC's Public Health Surveillance & Informatics Program Office (PHSIPO) manages the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, BioSense 2.0, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and serves as the 'home' at CDC for addressing cross-cutting issues in surveillance and informatics practice. This panel will discuss how PHSIPO is supporting health departments in adapting to the changing public health landscape and will provide opportunities to hear from audience members.
