  1. Data for 2012 Priority Setting in Small Doses #1 HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data

  2. Importance of HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data in Priority Setting • Provided to the Coalitions by the Bureau of Epidemiology at PA Department of Health (DOH) – HIV/AIDS Surveillance Section • Surveillance data has many uses - monitor epidemics, trends, etc. • Reality Check – THERE IS NO DATA SET WITHOUT LIMITATION! • Limitations of surveillance data include: lag in reporting, accuracy of report, etc. • Do we not use the data because of limitations? • PA DOH uses active and passive system for the surveillance data

  3. Updates to Reporting System • Since 2005 PA NEDSS (Pennsylvania’s National Electronic Disease and Surveillance System) used for HIV/AIDS reports • Pretty much the same providers mandated to report • Advantage is in timing

  4.
