An Epidemic is defined as the unusual occurrence
in a community or region of disease, specific
health related behaviour or other health related
events, clearly in excess of "expected occurrence.
An Outbreak is a greater-than-anticipated increase
in the number of endemic cases. It can also be a
single case in a new area. If it’s not quickly
controlled, an outbreak can become an epidemic.
• The IDSP is a decentralized, state based surveillance program
in the country.
• It was lunched in the year November,2004 in 3 phases
(Nationwide).
Need for IDSP:
• Because data are being COLLECTED SEPARATELY AND USED
SEPARATELY by the various program managers.
• Data are never used comprehensively at national level
• Huge resources are being used separately and sometimes
DUPLICATION OF FUNDS also occurre
• The epidemiological impact of the outbreak control
measures can be expected to be significant only if these
measures are APPLIED IN TIME.
Objectives of IDSP
1) To establish a decentralized district based system of
surveillance for communicable and non-communicable
diseases, so that timely and effective public health actions
can be initiated in response to health changes in the urban
and rural areas.
2) To integrate existing surveillance activities to avoid
duplication and facilitate sharing of information across all
disease control programmes and other stake holders, so
that valid data is available for health decision making in
the district, state and national levels
Integration in IDSP
• Sharing of surveillance information of various disease control
programmes.
• Developing effective partnership with heath and non health
sectors in surveillance. (Inter-sectoral Coordination).
• Including communicable and non communicable diseases in the
surveillance system.
• Working with the private sector and non governmental
organization at a single time.
• Bringing academic institutions and medical colleges into disease
surveillance.
Surveillance
Surveillance is defined as “ongoing systematic collection,
collation, analysis and interpretation of information in order
that the action be taken.”
In simple Word it’s the collection of information for an action.
Disease Surveillance is a systematic process of reporting of
various diseases of public health importance,(when &
where,how they occur) to a designated agency responsible for
taking effective interventional steps.
It’s success depends on 3R’s:
Recognition- quality of diagnosis, case definitions
Reporting- timely and complete
Response- analysis and effective feedback
Surveillance Importance
- To determine incidence of disease
- To know the geographical distribution or spread of disease
- To identify population at risk of that disease
- To monitor trend of disease over a long time period
- To capture the factors and condition responsible for
occurrence and spread of disease
- To predict the occurrence of epidemic and control of
epidemic
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention or
programme
Key Elements of Surveillance System
(For epidmiological, clinical and laboratory)
- Detection and notification of health event
- Investigation and confirmation
- Collection of data
- Analysis and interpretation of data
- Feed back and dissemination of results
Components of IDSP:
• Integration and decentralization of surveillance
activities through establishment of surveillance units
at Centre, State and District level.
• Human Resource Development – Training of State
Surveillance Officers, District Surveillance Officers,
Rapid Response Team and other Medical and
Paramedical staff on principles of disease
surveillance.
• Use of Information Communication Technology for
collection, collation, compilation, analysis and
dissemination of data.
• Strengthening of public health laboratories.
• Inter sectoral Co-ordination for zoonotic diseases
