Brief Summary:
Follow our story of a rescue at sea and learn how a seamless Disease Surveillance and Management “Ecosystem” helps public health leaders to prepare for, prevent, and protect populations from outbreaks. Our actors are “Empowered” with a public health ecosystem, so when a new and emerging infectious disease and a vaccine preventable disease are discovered in the rescued refugees, public health leaders have the people, tools, interoperable environments, and key links to clinical processes that enable them to succeed in preventing an outbreak. This session will keep you on the edge of your seat as you follow the action as public health program professionals are notified and respond to these cases. See how interoperable public health information systems and health data assets (along with rapid detection, notification and alerting systems) coexist to manage the response and mitigate the impact. Learn how integrated information intelligence empowers those individuals at risk, supports health care providers, and aids both public health staff and policy makers.
