1. Good afternoon
My presentation today is about how we used our syndromic surveillance systems to detect individual cases of public health importance
If the intrinsic value of syndromic surveillance is to detect a bioterrorism event, then the extrinsic value could be the ability to detect previously unreported diseases of public health importance.

2. My objective today is to describe our assessment of our syndromic surveillance system to identify:
Legally reportable diseases

4. In California we have a legal disease reporting process in place. Similar to most states.
Health care providers are required to report a variety of diseases and health condition.
However, we know that there is:
Under reporting taking place
A delay in reporting. In California we have a legal disease reporting process in place. Similar to most states.

5. Before we get started, let me give a brief overview of our syndromic surveillance.
