Abstract:
The National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) promotes and advances development of a syndromic surveillance system for the timely exchange of syndromic data. NSSP features the BioSense Platform and a collaborative Community of Practice. NSSP provides syndromic surveillance practitioners access to and use of the cloud-based BioSense Platform, a secure integrated electronic public health information system with standardized analytic tools and processes. This Revision includes a burden estimate increase from 195 hours in the previous ICR to 671 hours because more sites are expected to be onboarded in the next 3 years than in the previous 3 years and more Site Administrators are expected to be added in the next 3 years than in the previous 3 years
