Internet-based China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention
After the 2003 SARS epidemic, the Chinese government resolved to improve its disease surveillance system. The Ministry of Health took note of the successful use of modern information technology during the epidemic and built the worlds largest Internet-based disease reporting system, called the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention (CISDCP). The CISDCP had two important improvements compared with the previous reporting system. The first is that diseases were reported in real time. In the past, hospitals and clinics would submit casereport forms to their county or district CDC; local CDCs would submit report summaries once a month up the chain to the national CDC. With the CISDCP, hospitals and clinics immediately and directly reported through the Internet. This innovation allows public-health officials to have real-time information on diseases so they can immediately identify disease outbreaks and implement any needed containment strategies.
