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. 3, record 1, English, - syndromic%20surveillance
