20多年来，我们国家的公共卫生系统一直在努力应对正在发生的和新出现的公共卫生威胁和紧急情况。致命威胁引起了医疗保健提供者、公共卫生官员、州和地方政治家、国会和总统的极大兴趣。因此，联邦、州和地方公共卫生机构获得了大量资金，以建立一个更强大、更警惕的公共卫生系统。正在进行大量投资，以制定地方和区域公共卫生应对计划，建立健全的信息系统，以支持关键数据和信息的交换，提高工作人员的能力，并加强向响应者、卫生保健界和公众提供信息所需的通信系统。为了取得成功，公共卫生机构需要一个成熟和经过验证的信息技术框架，可以有效地应用于改善公共卫生准备。本文提供了对该框架的发展的见解，该框架是在整个公共卫生系统的背景下快速检测、跟踪和管理公共卫生威胁的综合疾病监测系统。
For over 20 years, our nation's public health system has continually struggled to combat ongoing and emerging public health threats and emergencies. Deadly threats have created considerable interest among healthcare providers, public health officials, state and local politicians, the Congress, and the President. As a consequence, substantial funding has been made available to federal, state, and local public health agencies to build a stronger, more vigilant public health system. Significant investment is being made to develop local and regional public health response plans, create robust information systems to support exchange of critical data and information, improve workforce competencies, and enhance communication systems needed to inform responders, the healthcare community, and the public. To succeed, public health agencies need a sophisticated and proven information technology framework that can be effectively applied to improve public health readiness. This article provides insight into the development of that framework, an integrated disease surveillance system for rapid detection, tracking, and managing of public health threats, within the context of the overall public health system.
