Sentinel Networks Home

In its 1994 monograph, Addressing Emerging Infectious Disease Threats -- A Prevention Strategy for the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) called for the establishment of provider-based emerging infections sentinel networks to study conditions that are not covered by health department surveillance and that are likely to be seen by specific kinds of health providers. There are currently four provider-based networks established:

IDA EIN (external link)
EMERGEncy ID Network
GeoSentinel Network (external link)
