Breakout Sessions • Interactive and discussion-oriented • Six major topic areas • Sign up sheets • Moderator designated for each session • Recorder needed • Discussion points presented to large group tomorrow
Common Issues • Coordination and communication among jurisdictions and at different levels of public health • Time and resource constraints • Role of social networking • Lessons learned
Detection and Analysis • What detection and analysis methods are available and how are they similar or different? • What types of events might they detect and why? • What do monitors need to maintain a working knowledge about statistical algorithms? • What epidemiologic analyses can or should follow the initial statistically significant anomaly notification? • What is the appropriate geographic unit of analysis?
System Visualizations and Functionalities • What system visualizations, functionalities, and tools are most useful in monitoring and analyzing biosurveillance data? • What needs are systems currently meeting/not meeting? • What improvements can be made to improve utility?
Monitoring and Anomaly Characterization • What are the protocols for monitoring biosurveillance data? • What information is necessary to characterize anomalies and what specific aspects indicate an anomaly is of potential importance? • What information is needed beyond what the system can provide, and how can this information be obtained?
Follow-up, Reporting, and Communication Protocols • When it is determined that an escalation or follow up investigation is appropriate, what are the appropriate protocols? • What information is needed for escalation reporting? • What information and in what format should reports include?
Consolidating Information • How do we address/resolve the use of multiple systems? • How do we consolidate information, coordinate, and communicate across jurisdictions, systems, and analytical results?
Situational Awareness • How do we define situational awareness? • How can biosurveillance systems meet the need for situational awareness (in addition to early detection of events)? • What types of scenarios would require situational awareness, and what data analyses, system functionalities, and data visualizations would provide the needed information?
