The NEDSS Initiative and the NBS¶

The National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) facilitates electronically transferring public health surveillance data from the healthcare system to public health departments. It is a conduit for exchanging information that supports the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS).

The NEDSS Base System (NBS) provides reporting jurisdictions with a NEDSS-compatible information system to facilitate transferring health, laboratory, and clinical data efficiently and securely over the Internet. NBS also provides public health authorities with a tool for processing, analyzing, and sharing of data they receive. Built and maintained by CDC, NBS provides reporting jurisdictions with a Web-based, patient-focused system that can integrate data on multiple health conditions and multiple patients to help state and local public health officials identify and track disease occurrence.

NBS helps jurisdictions use NEDSS standards when sending information to CDC about notifiable diseases and conditions and is currently the system of choice for transferring general communicable disease surveillance data in 22 reporting jurisdictions. NBS capabilities advance increased adoption of public health standards (including both Public Health Information Network (PHIN)and other health vocabulary standards, such as LOINC, SNOMED, and HL7) by providing best practices in the implementation of public health standards and interoperability used by state and local public health departments.
