  9. Traditional Disease Surveillance PHIMS

  10. Why Isn’t Influenza Notifiable? • Significant PH problem • Leading cause of mortality • Transmission interruption possible • Preventable (vaccine) • Lots of cases ….every year • Traditional surveillance for flu resource-demanding for yield • Annual reports (hospitalization & death certificate data) to evaluate vaccine delivery & identify at-risk groups • Never been need for real-time surveillance

  11. Goals of Influenza Surveillance Changing • Start & stop of annual epidemic • Cost, morbidity, & mortality of influenza • Measure vaccine / vaccine delivery effectiveness & make corrections • Evaluate public health outreach to high-risk groups • Monitor emergence of anti-viral resistance • Emergence of significant viral mutations • Anticipate impact on healthcare & HCFs • Bed availability • Ventilator availability • Anti-viral availability

  12. How Much Data Do We Really Need for Flu Surveillance? • For annual epidemic influenza, not so much data needed to answer these new, pressing questions • Minimize reported data for each case • Basic demographics • Age • Gender • County of residence • Date of illness onset or sample collection • Lab result

  13. New / Enhanced Influenza Surveillance(Post-Pandemic) 7 new surveillance systems (largely automated) • Sentinel lab network (typing, resistance) • Mandatory influenza death reporting • Pneumonia & influenza mortality eDR (in 2010-11, 6 counties; in 2011-12, all counties) • Statewide sentinel ER ILI surveillance • ELR: Messaging individual records (PHRED) • ELR: Web-based aggregate data entry (PHRAID) • Limited flu hosp surveillance using HIE (Spokane)

  14. PHRED & PHRAID • Use ELR for surveillance • Developed during 2009 flu pandemic • PHRED: Centralized reporting from labs to DOH with distribution to local health jurisdictions • PHRAID: Centralized reporting aggregate data from labs to DOH (influenza A, influenza B, RSV) • Next step? More complete lab data to populate web-based notifiable condition reporting system (PHIMS) • Changes in WA administrative code to improve content of lab-submitted reports

  15. LABS WA DOH PHRED Flu Lab Results WA DOH CDES

  16. LABS WA DOH PHRAID Aggregate Flu Lab Results WA DOH CDES Weekly surveillance report

  17. PHRED-to-PHIMS • Under development • Use content of the PHRED data message to pre-populate PHIMS case report • Distribute pre-populated PHIMS records to local health jurisdictions • LHJs to handle as per available resources • Entry into PHIMS or identification as a case does not mean mandatory investigation

  18. LABS WA DOH PHRED Flu Lab Results PHRED-to-PHIMS Lab data pre-populates PHIMS record WA DOH PHIMS

  19. Next Step: Health Information Exchange • Move data from EHR → “cloud” (“hub”) • Data messaging (HL7) • Inland Northwest Health Services • 21 hospitals in 14 WA & ID counties • Inpatient, emergency department, & lab data since • Massive amounts of data transmitted every 20 minutes (“sipping from a fire hose”) • UW staff package data; DOH staff link data for use • 2010, greater data utilization • Start with influenza

  20. LABS HIE Data Hub HCV Lab Results WA DOH PHRED Lab data pre-populates PHIMS record WA DOH PHIMS

  21. HIE Use in 2010-2011* • Within 2-3 days of occurrence: • Identified first lab-confirmed flu cases in E Washington • Cluster primarily comprised of unvaccinated Latinos from an agricultural community • Identified that more than 70% women presenting for delivery in December 2010 not vaccinated against influenza • Information distributed to local public health and healthcare providers * Kathy Lofy, Natasha Close, Tracy Sandifer, & Marisa D’Angeli

  22. Summary • 2010-2011: Flu surveillance emphasized centralized ELR system with local distribution of results • Model emerged in Spring 2009 Influenza Pandemic • Applicable to other high volume diseases where traditional surveillance is too resource-intense (e,g., Campylobacter, RSV, pneumococcus, hepatitis C) • Next step, more integration of HIE data to identify potential points for intervention in real-time
