课程名称：监测系统：基础构建块 课程概述：流行病学通常被描述为公共卫生的基石，而公共卫生监测是流行病学的核心。该课程旨在提升您在各种监测系统中的技术意识和技能，重点关注系统目标、数据报告、核心监测属性及性能评估。课程适合公共卫生从业者及任何希望了解公共卫生监测基础知识的人士。如果您正在开发或实施监测系统，或者希望利用监测数据，那么本课程将十分适合您。同时，对于希望深入了解这一基本流行病学工具及公共卫生实践的人士也是非常有价值的。 课程大纲： 1. **监测作为核心公共卫生职能**：回顾公共卫生监测的历史，讨论其在改善公共卫生中的作用。监测是公共卫生从业者监控群体健康与福祉的基本方式，理解数据的使用至关重要。我们还将讨论国际和美国国内的监测网络示例，并着重于日益相互关联的世界中，集成与协作的监测平台的必要性。 2. **定义监测目标**：讨论监测目标的示例，以及在决定目标时需要考虑的因素，并探讨这些因素如何与公共卫生目标和可用资源进行平衡。清晰的监测目标将指导从病例定义到资源寻找及检验选择等一系列决策。 3. **监测数据报告系统**：探讨公共卫生监测生成的数据如何被使用，强调数据采集的目的是推动公共卫生行动和决策。将考虑不同受众如何使用监测系统中的数据，并通过国内外的实例来识别关键利益相关者。 4. **监测系统属性与绩效评估**：介绍用于描述公共卫生监测系统性能的各种监测属性，尽管没有完美的监测系统，但我们需要系统性地评估监测的有效性，并比较不同的监测系统。课程将涵盖美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）列出的常用监测属性，并在传染病和慢性疾病的上下文中讨论这些属性和性能特征。 通过本课程，学习者将能够掌握公共卫生监测的基本知识，并具备设计、实施和评估监测系统的能力。
Name:Surveillance as a Core Public Health Function
Description:In the first module, we're going to review the history of public health surveillance and discuss its role in improving public health. Surveillance is one of the most basic ways that public health practitioners monitor the health and well-being of populations. Understanding how these data are used is essential. In addition to reviewing what public health surveillance is, we will discuss examples of international surveillance networks and domestic surveillance networks in the United States. Many surveillance systems are very localized, but in an increasingly connected world, the need for integrated and collaborative surveillance platforms continues to grow. By the end of this module, I hope you'll see how fundamental surveillance is to public health practice.
Name:Defining Surveillance Objectives
Description:In this module, we'll discuss examples of surveillance objectives and the considerations that go into deciding what the objective should be and how this must be balanced with public health goals and available resources. Clear thinking about the objective for surveillance system will guide every decision from how to define your cases, to where to look for them, and what kinds if any of diagnostic test to use. I'll provide you with real world example of a public health surveillance system to give you the opportunity to wrangle with how to design a surveillance system based on its objectives. In this exercise, you'll learn that no surveillance system is perfect, but they can be well-suited for a specific purpose.
Name:Surveillance Data Reporting Systems
Description:In this module, we'll discuss what happens with data that are generated from public health surveillance. Recall that public health surveillance data are collected to spur public health action and decision-making. So we'll talk about how this reporting occurs. You'll think through all the various audiences who will use data from a surveillance system. We'll present examples from international and domestic surveillance systems in the United States to give you an opportunity to identify who would expect to have a report from some specific public health surveillance systems. At the end of this module, you'll be able to describe how public health data are communicated for public health action and how important stakeholders are identified.
Name:Surveillance System Attributes and Assessing Performance
Description:In this final module, we'll introduce you to various surveillance attributes we use to describe the performance of public health surveillance systems. While no surveillance systems is perfect, we need to be able to systematically evaluate the utility of the surveillance and compare surveillance systems. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have a list of surveillance attributes which are commonly used globally, and we will review those. You will think about these attributes and performance characteristics within the context of two separate public health surveillance systems: one for an infectious disease, and one for a chronic disease.
Epidemiology is often described as the cornerstone science and public health and public health surveillance is a cornerstone of epidemiology. This course will help you build your technical awareness and skills for working with a variety of surveillance systems. Along the way, we'll focus on system objectives, data reporting, the core surveillance attributes, and performance assessment. This course is designed for public health practitioners and anyone who wants to learn more about the basics of public health surveillance. If you develop or implement surveillance systems or aspire to do so or use the data resulting from surveillance, then this course is for you. It's s also for people who are interested in understanding more about this fundamental epidemiologic tool and public health practice.
