title: Electronic integrated disease surveillance system and pathogen asset control system.
abstract: Electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance System (EIDSS) has been used to strengthen and  support monitoring and prevention of dangerous diseases within One Health concept by  integrating veterinary and human surveillance, passive and active approaches, case-based  records including disease-specific clinical data based on standardised case definitions and  aggregated data, laboratory data including sample tracking linked to each case and event with  test results and epidemiological investigations. Information was collected and shared in secure  way by different means: through the distributed nodes which are continuously synchronised  amongst each other, through the web service, through the handheld devices. Electronic  Integrated Disease Surveillance System provided near real time information flow that has  been then disseminated to the appropriate organisations in a timely manner. It has been used  for comprehensive analysis and visualisation capabilities including real time mapping of case  events as these unfold enhancing decision making. Electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance  System facilitated countries to comply with the IHR 2005 requirements through a data transfer  module reporting diseases electronically to the World Health Organisation (WHO) data  center as well as establish authorised data exchange with other electronic system using Open  Architecture approach. Pathogen Asset Control System (PACS) has been used for accounting, management and  control of biological agent stocks. Information on samples and strains of any kind throughout  their entire lifecycle has been tracked in a comprehensive and flexible solution PACS.Both systems have been used in a combination and individually. Electronic Integrated Disease  Surveillance System and PACS are currently deployed in the Republics of Kazakhstan,  Georgia and Azerbaijan as a part of the Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP)  sponsored by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
