公共卫生监测是有效开展公共卫生工作的基础。公共卫生监测被定义为持续系统地收集、分析和解释数据，并将这些数据传播给负责预防和控制疾病和伤害的公共卫生从业人员、临床医生和政策制定者。理想情况下，监测系统应支持及时、高效、灵活、可扩展和可互操作的数据采集、分析和传播。然而，目前的许多系统依赖于抑制效率和互操作性的特定疾病方法（例如，手动数据输入和数据重新编码给数据合作伙伴带来了沉重负担），并使用缓慢、低效和过时的技术，这些技术已不再满足用户对数据管理、分析、可视化和传播的需求。（2-4）信息技术、数据科学、分析方法和信息共享的进步为大幅加强监测提供了机会。作为公共卫生监测的全球领导者，疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）正在与公共卫生伙伴合作，改造和现代化CDC的监测系统和方法。在这里，我们描述了疾病预防控制中心最近在监测数据分析和可视化、信息共享和传播方面的改进，并确定了未来的挑战。
Public health surveillance is the foundation of effective public health practice. Public health surveillance is defined as the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, closely integrated with the dissemination of these data to the public health practitioners, clinicians, and policy makers responsible for preventing and controlling disease and injury.(1) Ideally, surveillance systems should support timely, efficient, flexible, scalable, and interoperable data acquisition, analysis, and dissemination. However, many current systems rely on disease-specific approaches that inhibit efficiency and interoperability (eg, manual data entry and data recoding that place a substantial burden on data partners) and use slow, inefficient, out-of-date technologies that no longer meet user needs for data management, analysis, visualization, and dissemination. (2-4) Advances in information technology, data science, analytic methods, and information sharing provide an opportunity to substantially enhance surveillance. As a global leader in public health surveillance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working with public health partners to transform and modernize CDC's surveillance systems and approaches. Here, we describe recent enhancements in surveillance data analysis and visualization, information sharing, and dissemination at CDC and identify the challenges ahead.
