Surveillance has a fundamental role during public health emergencies to provide accurate and relevant information to guide decision making. For each phase of the NSW response to the pandemic H1N1 (2009) influenza there were significant differences in the public health surveillance objectives and response mechanisms. Consequently each phase placed a different emphasis on the various sources and types of surveillance information which were collected and reported upon. We examine whether the NSW public health surveillance systems were able to inform effective public health management throughout all phases of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza.
在突发公共卫生事件期间，监测对于提供准确且相关的信息以指导决策具有至关重要的作用。在新南威尔士州应对2009年甲型H1N1流感大流行的每个阶段，公共卫生监测目标和应对机制均存在显著差异。因此，每个阶段对所收集和报告的各种监测信息来源及类型的侧重点各不相同。我们研究了新南威尔士州的公共卫生监测系统是否能够在2009年甲型H1N1流感大流行的所有阶段为有效的公共卫生管理提供信息。
