Every state in the United States has public health surveillance and monitoring systems that serve multiple purposes.

These systems are necessary for early detection of any imminent public health emergencies.

Using the Web sites of state health departments, identify one such system in the United States and create a PowerPoint presentation which addresses the following:

•A brief historical description of the system

•The primary functions of the system

•The various kinds of processes and procedures the system follows

•The kind of data that the system records and how it is used in early detection of public health emergencies Use the slide speaker's notes to elaborate on your points of argument.

You may also use the audio function in your presentation.

Develop a 6-8-slide presentation in PowerPoint format.
