Public Health Surveillance Approaches - 1
Passive surveillance:
• A system by which, a health institution receives routine
reports submitted from health facilities:
Such as hospitals, clinics, public health units, or
community or other sources
• There is no active search for cases
• It includes surveillance of diseases/events using routine
Indicator-based surveillance, Health management and
information system (HMIS)
2
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Public Health Surveillance Approaches -2
Active Surveillance:
• An ongoing search for cases in the community or health
facilities
• Involves regular contact with reporting sources by:
Telephone calls to health care workers at a facility or
laboratory
Physically moving to the reporting sites
Conducting records review of data
Examples: 1. Active search for measles and polio cases
2. Finding additional cases during outbreaks

Laboratory-based surveillance:
• Surveillance conducted at laboratories for detecting
events or trends that may not be seen as a problem at
other locations or that originates from laboratory
testing mainly done routinely
• Malaria positivity?

• Syndromic surveillance:
• An active or passive system that uses Standard Case
Definitions based entirely on clinical features
without any laboratory diagnosis
12
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Common types of IBS -6
Sentinel surveillance:
• A given number of designated health facilities or reporting sites
for early warning and reporting of priority events;
such as pandemic, epidemic events or other public health
events
• They are usually representative of an area or are in an area of
likely risk for a disease or condition of concern

Event-Based Surveillance
Versus Indicator-based surveillance
• Unlike indicator-based surveillance, event-based
surveillance is:
Not based on the routine monitoring of indicators and
automated thresholds for action
But Based on the screening of all available information
to detect any event happening in the community such
as:
o Unusual disease
o Deaths in humans or animals,
o Unusual clustering of cases, events/conditions

IBS and EBS as back bone to IDSR Strategy
EBS IBS
• Both are components of Early Warning and Response (EWAR) and Epidemic
Intelligence incorporated in the IDSR strategy
• Both are complimentary with each having a different role to play and purpose
• Pick up alerts to detect small • Monitoring disease trends overtime
outbreaks early • Useful for signalling start of regular
seasonal outbreaks of endemic
diseases using alert and epidemic
thresholds
16
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Levels of Applications and Reporting of EBS and IBS in the context of IDSR
At National level:
EBS implementation using hotlines and media scanning at PHEOC
Oversees implementation of EBS and IBS at all levels
District level:
• DHMT ensures EBS implementation using hotlines and media scanning
• Supervises implementation of EBS and IBS at health facility and community levels
Community level:
• CBS Focal persons implement EBS and IBS at community level
• Detects and notify alerts to nearest health facilities
•
IDSR Early warning system: Indicator Based Surveillance and Event Based Surveillance
What is IDSR? -1
19
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Key principles of IDSR
• Integration:
Refers to harmonizing different methods, software, data
collection forms, standards and case definitions in order to
prevent inconsistent information and maximize efforts
among all disease prevention and control programmes and
stakeholders
• Coordination:
Refers to working or acting together effectively for the
rational and efficient use of available but limited resources
such as the Health Management Information System (HMIS)
and various disease programs

effective surveillance activities
2. Integrate multiple surveillance systems so that tools,
personnel and resources are used more efficiently
3. Improve the triangulation and use of information to
detect changes in trend in order to conduct a rapid
response to suspected and confirmed outbreaks;
monitor the impact of interventions
22

IDSR and Disaster Risk Management (DRM)
• DRM is a systematic process of using administrative and
organizational directives, operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities
in order to lessen the adverse impact of hazards and the
possibility of disaster
• IDSR is a tool for DRM:
Provides early warning information, for risk assessment and
risk reduction
Assists in identification of hazards, assessment and
monitoring of disaster risks
35

Cross-border surveillance and response framework with
neighbouring countries
Procedures for information sharing within the framework of
IDSR
Procedures for notification of detected Outbreaks to
neighbouring cross border areas and districts
Develop and organize simulation exercises with cross border
district teams
Organize regular cross border meetings
• Note: Strong Political Leadership required

CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
What is Community-Based Surveillance?
44
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Role of community members in public health
surveillance and response
1. Provide early warning or alerts during the pre-epidemic
period
2. Report alerts and information on unusual public health
events in the community to the nearest health facility.
3. Support in active case detection and response during the
epidemic including contact tracing, community mobilization
& sensitization
4. Providing a forum for feedback to the community on
outbreak or event assessment
45
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Establishing community-based surveillance and
response system
Who is responsible?
• The catchment health facility or Sub-district Head/Manager
with support from the district, region/province and national
What is their role?
1. Develop CBS structures
2. Define the selection criteria for CBS focal persons
3. Draw terms of reference
4. Define roles and responsibilities of the CBS focal persons
5. Coordinate, supervise and monitor all CBS activities
implemented by the focal person
46
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Steps for establishing community-based
surveillance and response system-1
• Step 1: Engage all stakeholders
• Step 2: Define the sources of information about health events
in the community
• Step 3: Identify community-based surveillance (CBS) focal
persons
• Step 4: Compile list of priority diseases, condition and
events/alerts for CBS
• Step 5: Develop simple case definition for the priority
diseases, condition and events
47
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Steps for establishing community-based
surveillance and response system-2
• Step 6: Develop and Disseminate data collection and reporting
tools
• Step 7: Define methods of reporting
• Step 8: Train all key actors in the CBS system
• Step 9: Develop risk communication and social mobilization
structures
• Step 10: Define methods for monitoring, supervision and
evaluation

CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Procedure for CBS Focal person selection
Who is responsible:
• District and sub-district health team should work
with community leaders to identify members of the
community to be selected as CBS Focal persons
Who is Eligible to be CBS Focal Person:
• Any community member acceptable by the
community can be a CBS focal person

51
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Roles and Responsibilities of a community
based surveillance focal person-1
1. Use community case definitions to identify, record
priority diseases/conditions/events
2. Report to nearest health facility/sub-district
immediately within 24 hours
3. Support health workers during case/outbreak
investigation and contact tracing
4. Conduct household visits on a regular basis
5. Meet with key informants on a regular basis

CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Roles and Responsibilities of a community
based surveillance focal person-2
6. Sensitization of the community on priority diseases,
conditions, and unusual events
53
CPI-WHE-WHO/AFRO
Example of CBS activities
• CBS focal person hears of several cases of acute watery
diarrhoea with vomiting in the community. The CBS focal
person suspects cholera and reports the rumour to the local
health facility and to the district level heath officer by text
messaging.
• Members of the public health emergency rapid response
team (PHERRT) travelled to the community to verify and
investigate the possible outbreak, and, based on the
investigation results, implemented control and prevention
measures. The outbreak is quickly contained thanks to the
early warning from the community-based surveillance focal
person
