9. Physicians Can Report Suspected Cases Through Ozmosis Current reporting limited to ER/Labs/sentinel physicians Majority of cases present to Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and Urgent Care Clinics (UCC) No universal system of reporting beyond sentinel surveillance for PCP and UCC Submit Health Alerts
10. Learning Lessons From The Use Of Social Media During H1N1 Outbreak Is Critical Alerts need to be filtered at the local level CDC & WHO announcements / policy updates need to be disseminated more effectively and to the appropriate targets Surveillance needs to have verified sources Provider reporting at the local level needs to be more effectively linked to Health Departments
