CDC Integrated Surveillance Portal (2015)

Goal:
To create a full inventory of CDC’s surveillance systems, programs, registries, health surveys, tools, and collaboratives.

Summary:
A comprehensive, real-time, interactive resource for CDC, its partners, and the public to explore and discover information about the full inventory of CDC’s surveillance systems, programs, registries, health surveys, tools, and collaboratives. CDC Integrated Surveillance Portal (CISP) contains not only descriptive information about these CDC resources — CISP also describes the relationships between resources. The information in this tool is from many sources, including the National Public Health Surveillance and Biosurveillance Registry for Human Health. This portal does not contain raw surveillance data — it only contains meta-data (i.e., data about data) regarding these surveillance activities. Because CISP holds no surveillance data, it holds no personally identifiable information, nor personal health information about cases or persons in these systems.
