They collect, analyze, and share electronic patient encounter data received from emergency departments, urgent and ambulatory care centers, inpatient healthcare settings, and laboratories. The electronic health data are integrated through a shared platform—the BioSense Platform. The public health community uses analytic tools on the platform to analyze data received within 24 hours of patient visits to participating facilities. These timely and actionable data are used to detect, characterize, monitor, and respond to events of public health concern. HOW WE CONDUCT SYNDROMIC SURVEILLANCE People seek treatment in a medical facility, such as emergency department or urgent care. Medical facility sends de- identified data including chief complaint, diagnosis codes, patient characteristics, and location to state and local health departments or to data aggregators such as Health Information Exchanges. CDC provides •Analytic tools, services, and system infrastructure •Funding to health departments •Technical assistance and training •Data analysis support •Collaboration on specific projects Public health departments and Health Information Exchanges contribute data to the NSSP BioSense Platform. •Conduct syndromic surveillance to monitor public health •Share data via NSSP BioSense Platform •Share knowledge •Build skills via webinars, trainings, and workgroup participation •Collaborate to develop methods and respond to emergencies DATA NNDSS National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System NSSP Community of Practice 29 EXAMPLES OF SYNDROMIC SURVEILLANCE IN ACTION Using syndromic surveillance, public health officials can: •Detect illness, injuries, and health care needs after major disasters such as hurricanes •Characterize extent of opioid and other drug-related overdoses in communities •Monitor for early signs of outbreaks associated with crowding and compromised sanitation at mass gatherings like concerts, conventions, or large festivals •Respond to foodborne outbreaks such as the identification of fish poisoning that resulted in a product recall Provides public health officials a digital platform to detect, characterize, monitor, and respond to potential public health threats Provides regional and national situational awareness about public health concerns More than 6,500 health care facilities covering 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam contribute data to NSSP daily.

Legislative Session Summary Lisa Thimjon, Legislative Director, MDH Lisa Thimjon shared a summary of the outcome from the 2024 Legislative Session. The session ended chaotically with a large Omnibus bill that contained several items impacting public health. Some of the items of interest for local public health included: • Legacy (Chapter 106) funds provided $3.1 million to MDH in the first phase of funding to implement a voluntary private well inventory in Southeast Minnesota including nitrate testing and a dashboard. The funding would also help in developing health risk limits for contaminants found in drinking water in increasing lab capacity. • Agriculture provisions (Chapter 127) provided $2.8 million to MDA for nitrate home water treatment in the eight Southeast Minnesota counties (Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona). • The Omnibus Bill (Chapter 127) also included provisions related to childcare providers being able to develop standards for immunizations, study and make recommendations for health professions workforce advisory council, establishment of standards for natural organic reduction, updated requirements for notice and public hearing for hospital closure/curtailments, clarity added for vital records and assisted living facilities, new Office of Emergency Medical Services was established and the MDH Office of Medical Cannabis will move to Office of Cannabis Management in July 2024. • Minnesota Department of Education will adopt new statewide health education standards in consultation with MDH. • The Human Services bill included a cut to local cannabis prevention grants in FY26. MDH knows these funds are essential to local prevention activities and is exploring options for a legislative fix in 2025. Deputy Commissioner’s Remarks Wendy Underwood, Deputy Commissioner MDH • The Deputy Commissioner shared her extensive background before coming to MDH and brought greetings from Commissioner Cunningham. • A top priority for MDH leadership is engaging with local and tribal partners. In the last quarter they have visited 15 local public health offices in addition to a number of LPHA regional 60 SCHSAC MEETING NOTES JUNE 13, 2024 4 meetings. They will be continuing those meetings in the coming months and look forward to learning, listening, and offering information as they can. • Updates from MDH include: o Foundational Public Health Responsibilities grants were awarded o The second round of Minnesota Infrastructure Fund Grants will be awarded soon to locally led innovation projects o WIC (Women Infant and Children) Program just launched a statewide pilot with HyVee stores allowing families to shop online. WIC will not be moving to the new Department of Children Youth and Families o Officially opening the Office of American Indian Health and Office of African American Health o Launched community meetings in southeast Minnesota to engage community members on the challenges of nitrates and on testing private wells o H5N1 Avian Influenza A has been discovered in three dairy herds in Minnesota. We are actively engaged with those farms and their employees. There are no known human cases in Minnesota and nationally the risk to the general public remains low. o Excited to announce that Mel Gresczyk has accepted the appointment as Assistant Commissioner of the Health Operations Bureau and Myra Kunas has been appointed as Assistant Commissioner of the Health Protection Bureau. Approval of the Minnesota Infectious Disease Operations Guide (formerly known as the Disease Prevention & Control Common Activities Framework Update) Erica Keppers (Morrison-Todd-Wadena), Infectious Disease Continuous Improvement Board Co-Chair & Ellen Hill, MDH • The Minnesota Infectious Disease Operations Guide (MIDOG) is the successor to the Disease Prevention and Control Common Activities Framework. The MIDOG outlines the roles and responsibilities of MDH and local public health (LPH) agency staff for the full spectrum of public health infectious disease work in Minnesota. • The development of the MIDOG has been a collaborative effort between MDH and LPH agencies via the Infectious Disease Continuous Improvement Board (ID CIB) and multiple rounds of information gathering and content review from public health professionals around the state. • The development of the MIDOG has been informed by the Foundational Public Health Responsibilities (FPHR). Notes referring to specific areas of the FPHR have been included in each responsibility in the MIDOG. The FPHR have also been used to ensure that the MIDOG is not missing any significant responsibilities. • Overall, for most responsibilities within the MIDOG, neither MDH nor LPH/Community Health Board (CHB) agencies are the sole agency responsible. Collaboration between MDH and 61 SCHSAC MEETING NOTES JUNE 13, 2024 5 LPH/CHBs is essential to successfully carrying out the responsibilities. For these responsibilities, the general delineation of work follows the idea that MDH staff bring disease-specific or tool- specific expertise (e.g., infection control or disease reporting system) and LPH/CHB staff bring expertise of their local communities, local resources, and key local partners. MDH regional epidemiologists (aka district epidemiologists) serve as liaisons, advocates (both for MDH and for LPH), and as additional staff capacity (both for MDH and for LPH depending on what is needed). • MDH staff (including MDH regional epidemiologists) shoulder the lead responsibility for responsibilities in the MIDOG where there may be variable LPH/CHB capacity to contribute. These include leading education and training opportunities, case investigations, outbreak investigations, monitoring the occurrence of disease, and conducting site visits. Motion to recommend approval and adoption of the Minnesota Infectious Disease Operations Guide to the Commissioner of Health by DeAnne Malterer (Le Sueur-Waseca), seconded by Michelle Clasen (Washington). Motion Carried. Statewide Health Assessment and Statewide Health Improvement Framework Sarah Grosshuesch (Wright County) & Maria Sarabia (MDH), Healthy Minnesota Partnership Co-Chairs Audrey Hanson & Tara Carmean, MDH • The Healthy Minnesota Partnership (HMP) is a statewide, cross-sectoral partnership whose vision is that all people in Minnesota enjoy healthy lives and healthy communities. SCHSAC is one of the organizations represented on the Partnership. More information about HMP and it’s membership can be found here: Healthy Minnesota Partnership - MN Dept. of Health (state.mn.us) (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/practice/healthymnpartnership/index.html) • The Partnership is also charged with overseeing the creation of the Statewide Health Assessment (SHA) and the Statewide Health Improvement Framework (SHIF). • The Minnesota Statewide Health Assessment was released in early April 2024. It tells the story of health in Minnesota. (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/practice/healthymnpartnership/sha.html) o The Assessment includes four sections: People, Opportunity, Nature, and Belonging o There are several new features including COVID-19 data, policy profiles, impact of systems and structures on health and data on mental health and well-being, environmental justice, civic participation and more. o SCHSAC members can use the Assessment to:  Learn more about the conditions that create health;  Learn how the assessment and planning processes in public health help elevate local needs and priorities; and  Share the assessment with your constituents. 62 SCHSAC MEETING NOTES JUNE 13, 2024 6 • The next step is to create the SHIF, a multi-year action plan that is created in a collaborative process led by the Healthy Minnesota Partnership. o The SHIF will include Health Priorities, measurable objectives for each health priority and strategies for each health priorities as well as a plan to track implementation. o There are opportunities to engage with the Partnership and be part of creating the SHIF – sign up for updates and watch for notices, attend upcoming Partnership meetings (listed on the website), email health.healthymnpartnership@state.mn.us. o The goal is to have the SHIF completed in early 2025. Foundational Public Health Responsibility (FPHR) Spotlight: A Data Tour: Exploring New Approaches Across Minnesota Panel host Chelsie Huntley, Division Director, MDH opened the panel and introduced the panelists before each panelist provided an overview of their project. The panel then discussed a series of topics before taking questions from the audience. Project overviews: Health Trends Across Communities in Minnesota (HTAC-MN): Jessica Jeruzal, Operations Director for the Health, Homelessness & Criminal Justice Lab • Health Trends Across Communities (HTAC) provides accessible, timely, and detailed data on community health in Minnesota. Available as a free, interactive dashboard. • HTAC is a product of deep collaboration and public-private partnerships. • There are many possible uses for HTAC in your communities and organizations, including: community health assessments, grant applications, strategic planning, prevention & response work, and more! Olmsted County: Jenny Passer, Epidemiologist • Olmsted County is a regional data model that demonstrates a way for CHBs to have the foundational capability of assessment/surveillance without needing their own data staff and software in-house. It's a model that allows locals to have access to meaningful data that they can act on, create stronger partnerships with, and strengthen local public health while reducing the burden on MDH. • Key foundational pieces include: recruiting staff, relationship building, technology and software, data sharing agreements. • Regional priorities and structures may differ across the state, but there is space to explore how pieces of this work could be completed in other regions. Carlton Cook Lake St. Louis CHB: Stephany Medina, Program Manager & Public Health Planner & Susan Michels, CHS Administrator • The Northeast region's data infrastructure project focuses on using available data to inform public health planning efforts. 63 SCHSAC MEETING NOTES JUNE 13, 2024 7 • Recognizing that having the data isn't always enough, they have focused on providing tools like staff capacity (3 new positions), assessing data policies and practices, and offering data-focused trainings. • The Northeast team designed several projects to build towards data systems change including: a data inventory, mixed methods approaches to workforce development planning, and a foundations of data equity training.
