Notifiable diseases database system: Review and development strategy

Abstract

The Communicable Diseases Branch of the NSW Department of Health recently undertook a review of the existing notification system, to determine its effectiveness and guide future development of the system. This report briefly outlines the nature of the review, its recommendations, and the progress to date in addressing the recommendations. A more complete description of the nature and outcome of this process will be presented in a future edition of the NSW Public Health Bulletin.
