  surveillance Meaning: Combination of twowords, Sur means from above & Veiller mean to watch. Def: Surveillance is defined as the continuous (ongoing) scrutiny of the factors that determine the occurrence and distribution of diseases and other health related events through a systematic collection of data. Purpose of surveillance/ Objectives • To identify diseases, injuries, hazards and other health related factors as early as possible, i.e. prediction and early detection of outbreaks, control of disease
• 4.
  Surveillance carried outby the following professional authorities, 1. HODs 2. Directors 3. Doctors 4. Epidemiologist
• 5.
  Activities in Surveillance Thedifferent activities carried out under surveillance are: • Data collection and recording • Data compilation, analysis and interpretation • Reporting and notification • Dissemination of information
• 7.
  • To providescientific baseline data and information for priority setting, planning, implementing and evaluating disease control program for both communicable and non-communicable health problems. • To define the magnitude and distribution of diseases by time, person and place dimension.
• 8.
  TYPES: The two commontypes of surveillance are passive and active surveillance. Passive surveillance • Passive surveillance may be defined as a mechanism for routine surveillance based on passive case detection and on the routine recording and reporting system. • The information provider comes to the health institutions for help, be it medical or other preventive and promotive health services. • It involves collection of data as part of routine provision of health services. Example: 1. Coughing

  Advantages of passivesurveillance • Covers a wide range of problem • Does not require special arrangement • It is relatively cheap Disadvantages of passive surveillance • The information generated is to a large extent unreliable, incomplete and inaccurate • Most of the time, data from passive surveillance is not available on time • Most of the time, you may not get the kind of information you desire • It lacks representativeness of the whole population since passive surveillance is mainly based on health institution reports
• 10.
  Active surveillance • Activesurveillance is defined as a method of data collection usually on a specific disease, for relatively limited period of time. • It involves collection of data from communities such as in house-to-house surveys or mobilizing communities to some central point where data can be collected. • This can be arranged by assigning health care personnel to collect information on presence or absence of new cases of a particular disease at regular intervals. • Example: 1. Investigation of out-breaks 2. Malaria
• 11.
  Advantages of activesurveillance • The collected data is complete and accurate • Information collected is timely. Disadvantages of active surveillance • It requires good organization/work place, it is expensive • It requires skilled human power • It is for short period of time(not a continuous process) • It is directed towards specific disease conditions
• 12.
  Conditions in whichactive surveillance is Appropriate: • Unlike passive surveillance, it cannot be used for routine purposes. There are certain conditions where active surveillance is appropriate. • These conditions are: For periodic evaluation of an ongoing program • For programs with limited time of operation such as eradication program In unusual situations such as: • New disease discovery • New mode of transmission • When a disease is found to affect a new subgroup of the population. • When a previously eradicated(complete destruction) disease reappears.

  Features of agood surveillance system: • Using a combination of both active and passive surveillance techniques • Timely notification • Timely and comprehensive action taken in response to notification • Availability of a strong laboratory service for accurate diagnoses of cases
