National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance--United States, 1990-1991.
The National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS) was developed by CDC and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) for collecting, transmitting, analyzing, and publishing weekly reports of notifiable diseases and injuries from the 50 states, New York City, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Operation of NETSS is facilitated by CDC/CSTE agreements on reportable conditions, protocols for formatting and transmitting data, standard case definitions, and designated staff members in each participating agency who provide and prepare the data for weekly publication in MMWR. This report describes the development and operation of NETSS and presents tabulations of national surveillance data for 1990 (tables on pages 505-510).
