A message from Clymer.."CC"..Conrad Clyburn to all members of Biodefense & Disaster Medicine on MedTechIQ!
Colleagues,
As reported in Federal Health Update...The Institute of medicine (IOM) published "Effectiveness of National Biosurveillance Systems: BioWatch and the Public Health System. Interim Report", on Feb. 10, 2009.
This interim report outlines the Committee on Effectiveness of National Biosurveillance Systems efforts to evaluate the Department of Homeland security's BioWatch program, including a comparison of costs and benefits for the current generation and planned next generation of BioWatch technology; the costs and benefits of an enhanced national surveillance system that relies on U.S. hospitals and the U.S. public health system; and the effectiveness of this approach compared to that of the current BioWatch program. The final report is due in June 2009....
