CDC

How It Works / Getting Started

The Content-based Routing service works by receiving data transmissions sent by State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) health departments, examining the content of the messages and securely sending them to the correct programs across the CDC.

BEFORE

Busy disease detectives must send the same data multiple times and in multiple ways – a redundant process that creates undue reporting burden.

AFTER

Sending the data once cuts down the work.  Routing service securely sends data to the correct programs.

How It Works

 

  • Step 1: Data Submission Health departments submit data to CDC.
  • Step 2: Computer Inspects and Sorts Data CDC’s Content-based Routing service looks at the data and routes it to the appropriate CDC programs or systems.
  • Step 3 (n case of issues): Sender is Contacted If issues prevent delivery of the data, the sender will be contacted to resolve the problem and resubmit the data.
  • Step 4: Data Used to Protect People The data is used by CDC or state disease detectives to update alerts, recommendations, or implement targeted programs to protect Americans.
