Creating a global dialogue on infectious Disease Surveillance: connecting organizations for regional Disease Surveillance (CORDS).
Emerging health threats journal, 2013Co-Authors: Louise S. Gresham, Mark S. Smolinski, Rapeepong Suphanchaimat, Ann Marie Kimball, Suwit WibulpolprasertAbstract:Connecting Organizations for Regional Disease Surveillance (CORDS) is an international non-governmental organization focused on information exchange between Disease Surveillance networks in different areas of the world. By linking regional Disease Surveillance networks, CORDS builds a trust-based social fabric of experts who share best practices, Surveillance tools and strategies, training courses, and innovations. CORDS exemplifies the shifting patterns of international collaboration needed to prevent, detect, and counter all types of biological dangers not just naturally occurring infectious Diseases, but also terrorist threats. Representing a network-of-networks approach, the mission of CORDS is to link regional Disease Surveillance networks to improve global capacity to respond to infectious Diseases. CORDS is an informal governance cooperative with six founding regional Disease Surveillance networks, with plans to expand; it works in complement and cooperatively with theWorld Health Organization (WHO), theWorld Organization for Animal Health (OIE), and the Food and Animal Organization of the United Nations (FAO). As described in detail elsewhere in this special issue of Emerging Health Threats , each regional network is an alliance of a small number of neighboring countries working across national borders to tackle emerging infectious Diseases that require unified regional efforts. Here we describe the history, culture and commitment of CORDS; and the novel and necessary role that CORDS serves in the existing international infectious Disease Surveillance framework.

Key findings and lessons from an evaluation of the Rockefeller Foundation's Disease Surveillance Networks Initiative.
Emerging health threats journal, 2013Co-Authors: Nancy Macpherson, Ann Marie Kimball, Charlanne Burke, Neil F. Abernethy, Sandra Tempongko, Jakob ZinsstagAbstract:The Rockefeller Foundation has a long history of providing support for Disease Surveillance in Asia, globally, and more recently in Africa ( 1 – 3 ). Most recently, from 2007–2012, the Foundation provided $22 million in support for the Disease Surveillance Networks (DSN) Initiative with the goal of contributing to the mitigation of Disease outbreaks by supporting transnational and inter-disciplinary networks aimed at strengthening national, regional, and global Disease Surveillance and response systems. Specifically, the DSN Initiative aimed to build individual and institutional capacity to conduct Disease Surveillance and response efficiently and effectively; build bridges between Disease Surveillance networks and international agencies to increase the effectiveness of global response systems; and strengthen connections between animal health, human health, and environmental health through a “One Health” approach.

using social media for actionable Disease Surveillance and outbreak management a systematic literature review
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Lauren Charlessmith, Tera L Reynolds, Mark Cameron, Mike Conway, Eric H Y Lau, Jennifer M Olsen, Julie A Pavlin, Mika Shigematsu, Laura C Streichert, Katie J SudaAbstract:Objective Research studies show that social media may be valuable tools in the Disease Surveillance toolkit used for improving public health professionals’ ability to detect Disease outbreaks faster than traditional methods and to enhance outbreak response. A social media work group, consisting of Surveillance practitioners, academic researchers, and other subject matter experts convened by the International Society for Disease Surveillance, conducted a systematic primary literature review using the PRISMA framework to identify research, published through February 2013, answering either of the following questions: Can social media be integrated into Disease Surveillance practice and outbreak management to support and improve public health? Can social media be used to effectively target populations, specifically vulnerable populations, to test an intervention and interact with a community to improve health outcomes? Examples of social media included are Facebook, MySpace, microblogs (e.g., Twitter), blogs, and discussion forums. For Question 1, 33 manuscripts were identified, starting in 2009 with topics on Influenza-like Illnesses (n = 15), Infectious Diseases (n = 6), Non-infectious Diseases (n = 4), Medication and Vaccines (n = 3), and Other (n = 5). For Question 2, 32 manuscripts were identified, the first in 2000 with topics on Health Risk Behaviors (n = 10), Infectious Diseases (n = 3), Non-infectious Diseases (n = 9), and Other (n = 10). Conclusions The literature on the use of social media to support public health practice has identified many gaps and biases in current knowledge. Despite the potential for success identified in exploratory studies, there are limited studies on interventions and little use of social media in practice. However, information gleaned from the articles demonstrates the effectiveness of social media in supporting and improving public health and in identifying target populations for intervention. A primary recommendation resulting from the review is to identify opportunities that enable public health professionals to integrate social media analytics into Disease Surveillance and outbreak management practice.
