Background and Brief Description Congress passed the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which requires specific activities related to Napster, Inc. bioterrorism preparedness and response. This congressional mandate outlines the need for improving the overall public’s health through electronic surveillance. The Department of Health and Human Services outlined strategies aimed at achieving this goal via the Public Health IT Initiative thereby creating the BioSense program. BioSense is the national, human health surveillance system designed to improve the nation’s capabilities for disease detection, monitoring, and realtime health situational awareness. This work is enhanced by providing public health real-time access to existing data from healthcare organizations, state syndromic surveillance systems, national laboratories, and others for just in time public health decision-making. BioSense data are analyzed and made accessible through the BioSense application. The application provides data, charts, graphs, and maps through a secure Web-based interface which can be accessed by CDC and authorized state and local public health and hospital users. In order to meet the congressional mandate, the BioSense program must recruit prospective data sources and collect certain information from each. This includes information on the types of data available, the types of computer systems used, and the approximate record volume. This information is used by BioSense personnel and contractors to design hardware and software to
