Comprehensive and accurate disease surveillance systems are needed to implement successful efforts which will reduce the burden of chronic diseases on the U.S. population. A number of sources of surveillance data--including population surveys, cohort studies, disease registries, administrative health data, and vital statistics--contribute critical information about chronic disease. But no central surveillance system provides the information needed to analyze how chronic disease impacts the U.S. population, to identify public health priorities, or to track the progress of preventive efforts. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases\u003c\/em\u003e outlines a conceptual framework for building a national chronic disease surveillance system focused primarily on cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases. This system should be capable of providing data on disparities in incidence and prevalence of the diseases by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic region, along with data on disease risk factors, clinical care delivery, and functional health outcomes. This coordinated surveillance system is needed to integrate and expand existing information across the multiple levels of decision making in order to generate actionable, timely knowledge for a range of stakeholders at the local, state or regional, and national levels. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The recommendations presented in \u003cem\u003eA Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases\u003c\/em\u003e focus on data collection, resource allocation, monitoring activities, and implementation. The report also recommends that systems evolve along with new knowledge about emerging risk factors, advancing technologies, and new understanding of the basis for disease. This report will inform decision-making among federal health agencies, especially the Department of Health and Human Services; public health and clinical practitioners; non-governmental organizations; and policy makers, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Board on Population Health and Public He,Committee on a National Surveillance Sys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309212162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309212168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064840237311,"sku":"9780309212168","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48daaa7e-a94a-432a-886f-4efe63fec214.jpg?v=1768671383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nationwide-framework-for-surveillance-institute-of-medicine-9780309212168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
