Integration and expansion of a sentinel surveillance system to improve infectious disease outcomes for Indigenous Australians; the ATLAS network

传染病仍然是澳大利亚土著居民的一个重大健康问题。我们的建议是扩大在32个土著初级保健服务机构运作的哨点监测网络，重点是性传播感染和血液传播病毒。通过扩大，我们将增加网站的数量，并将疫苗可预防的疾病添加到网络中。在这样做的过程中，我们从一个监测系统转移到一个研究网络，可以为卫生服务战略和实践提供信息。

Infectious diseases remain a significant health issue for Indigenous Australians. Our proposal is to extend a sentinel surveillance network operating in 32 Aboriginal primary care services, with a focus on sexually transmissible infections and blood borne virsuses. By expanding, we will increase the number of sites, and add vaccine preventable diseases to the network. In doing this, we move from a surveillance system to a research network that can inform health service strategies and practice.
