DATA MANAGEMENT

Integrated Disease Surveillance Project aims at collecting, compiling,
analyzing and using data on various target diseases for surveillance and
rapid response to prevent or control spread of diseases in the communities.
As data are computerized, it becomes necessary to standardize formats used
for recording and reporting information at various levels. Under IDSP, data
are collected on epidemic prone diseases on weekly basis (Monday–Sunday).

The following Formats (Annexure 1) were used under IDSP initially:

‘S’ form - Reporting Format for Syndromic Surveillance, filled by Health
Worker.

‘P’ form- Reporting Format for Presumptive Surveillance, filled by Medical
Officer.

‘L1, L2, L3’ forms - Reporting Format for Laboratory Surveillance.

‘W’ form - Reporting Format for Water Quality Monitoring, filled by Health
Workers and Laboratory Personnel at PHCs, CHCs and in various other
laboratories in the district.

In due course of time for operational ease, the L1, L2 & L3 formats were
merged as single ‘L’ Format and the ‘W’ format was discontinued. The ‘P’
format was also simplified in 2009.

Presently under IDSP the information is collected on three specified reporting
formats (Annexure – 2), namely “S” (suspected cases), “P” (presumptive
cases) and “L” (laboratory confirmed cases). ‘S’ form is filled by the health
workers to report data on suspected cases/syndromes. ‘ P’ form is filled up
by Medical Officers to report data on probable/clinically suspected cases. ‘L’
form is designed to collect data on lab confirmed cases.

Flow of Information

The information flow followed to ensure timely reporting of data relating to
target diseases is depicted in the schematic diagram below.

The weekly data gives information on the disease trends and seasonality of
diseases. Whenever there is a rising trend of an illness in any area, it is
investigated by the Rapid Response Teams (RRT) to diagnose and control the
