A system for the surveillance of public or animal health tendencies that aims to detect preclinic indicators and analyze medical data collected before a firm diagnosis is made in order to anticipate situations that might have harmful effects on health.

CONT

A public health emergency may be a foodborne or waterborne outbreak. Syndromic surveillance is the key to recognizing a public health emergency or bioterrorism event prior to an actual diagnosis, which may take several days. Syndromic surveillance is conducted by monitoring chief medical complaints (syndromes) from emergency room data, local school absenteeism, increased sales of OTC [over-the-counter] medications, and a variety of other data sources.
