SRA Wins Contract to Support CDC's National Electronic Disease Surveillance Base System
FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SRA International, Inc., a leading provider of IT solutions and professional services to government organizations, today announced that the company was awarded a three-year, $9 million contract by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). NEDSS is managed by the CDC's Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services.
NEDSS facilitates the electronic transfer of public health surveillance data to public health departments and to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). NEDSS is a system of interoperable subsystems, components and systems modules. It includes the following: (1) software applications developed and implemented by the CDC, (2) systems developed and implemented by State and local health departments, and (3) electronic notification systems created by contractors and vendors. Currently, 50 states, New York City, Washington, D.C. and few U.S territories such as Guam and U.S. British Virgin Islands, use a NEDSS-compatible system to send case notifications to NNDSS.
Under the contract, SRA will support the development, deployment, and support of the NEDSS base system, including the development of best practices in implementing public health surveillance systems.
