Annual Syndromic Surveillance Conference at Indy in October

Shaun Grannis, MD, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, in combination with the Regenstrief Institute hosted the 6th Annual Syndromic Surveillance Conference at the Westin Indianapolis Hotel on Oct. 11-12, 2007.

The annual conference of the International Society for Disease Surveillance built upon prior conference themes by exploring innovative and non-traditional approaches to using syndromic surveillance data (e.g non-infectious, environmental, chronic disease, health promotion).

The conference featured plenary sessions and concurrent interactive tracks on five topics including novel applications, automated data acquisition and processing, analytical methods, public health practice and evaluation and performance.
