Proposed Project
The National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System (NEDSS) (OMB
Number 0920–0728 exp. 2/28/2011)—
Extension—National Center for Public
Health Informatics (NCPHI), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is responsible for the
dissemination of nationally notifiable
diseases information and for monitoring
and reporting the impact of epidemic
influenza on mortality, Public Health
Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241). Since
April 1984, CDC National Center for
Public Health Informatics Epidemiology
Program Office (EPO) began working
with the Council of State and Territorial
Epidemiologists (CSTE) to demonstrate
the efficiency and effectiveness of
computer transmission of surveillance
data between CDC and the State health
departments.
By 1989, all 50 States were using this
computerized disease surveillance
system, which was then renamed the
National Electronic
Telecommunications System for
Surveillance (NETSS) to reflect its
national scope (OMB numbers 0920–
0447 and 0920–0007).
Beginning in 1999, CDC,
Epidemiology Program Office (EPO)
worked with CSTE, State and local
public health system staff, and other
CDC disease prevention and control
program staff to identify information
categories and information technology
standards to support integrated disease
surveillance. That effort is now focused
on development and completion of the
National Electronic Disease Surveillance
System (NEDSS), coordinated by CDC’s
National Center for Public Health
Informatics, Division of Integrated
Surveillance Systems and Services
(DISSS).
States will continue to use portions of
NETSS to transmit data to CDC. One of
the reasons for providing NETSS to
NEDSS data mapping is to identify what
data elements in NETSS correspond to
data elements in NEDSS. Those
elements mapped from NETSS to
NEDSS were collected in OMB number
0920–0007.
NEDSS will electronically integrate
and link together a wide variety of
surveillance activities and will facilitate
more accurate and timely reporting of
disease information to CDC and State
and local health departments.
Consistent with recommendations
supported by our State and local
surveillance partners and described in
the 1995 report, Integrating Public
Health Information and Surveillance
Systems, NEDSS includes data
standards, an Internet based
communications infrastructure built on
industry standards, and policy-level
agreements on data access, sharing,
burden reduction, and protection of
confidentiality.
To support NEDSS, CDC has
developed an information system, the
NEDSS Base System (NBS), which uses
NEDSS technical and information
standards. The NBS is currently
deployed to 16 States, including AL,
AR, ID, MD, ME, MT, NE, NM, NV, RI,
SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, and WY.
CDC is requesting a three-year OMB
clearance extension of collecting the
NEDSS data. The table below outlines
the annualized burden which consists of
two components. The first component is
‘‘weekly reporting’’ (52 weeks annually).
The second component is an end of year
report titled ‘‘annual reporting’’. The two
components collectively represent the
estimated annualized hours for the
submitting jurisdictions.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours for the
Weekly Morbidity Reports and the
Annual Summary Report is 9,384.
