Lists of reportable conditions and case definitions are important tools for epidemiologic surveillance. As part of an initiative to encourage occupational disease surveillance systems linked to intervention at the state level, we have proposed a list of target conditions and are developing a set of standard epidemiologic case definitions. Experience gained from state health department pilot projects using SENSOR and other surveillance approaches will be used to promote effective condition-specific surveillance strategies on a wider scale.
应报告疾病列表和病例定义是流行病学监测的重要工具。作为鼓励与州级干预措施相联系的职业病监测系统这一倡议的一部分，我们提出了一份目标疾病清单，并正在制定一套标准的流行病学病例定义。从州卫生部门使用SENSOR及其他监测方法的试点项目中获得的经验，将用于在更广泛范围内推广有效的针对特定疾病的监测策略。
