Lessons Learned From Implementation of Mpox Surveillance During an Outbreak Response in Tennessee, 2022

CONCLUSIONS: Future emerging infectious disease responses would benefit from standardized surveillance approaches that facilitate rapid implementation. Closer collaboration among informatics, laboratory, and clinical partners across jurisdictions and agencies in determining system priorities and designing workflow processes could improve flexibility of the surveillance platform and completeness and timeliness of laboratory reporting. Improved timeliness will facilitate public health response and intervention, thereby mitigating morbidity.PMID:38264963 | DOI:10.1177/00333549231223710
