PELAKSANAAN SURVEILANS

Summary

This video discusses the importance of disease surveillance for potential outbreaks, focusing on the monitoring of diseases like DHF, measles, rabies, and new emerging diseases such as H5N1 and COVID-19. It also covers immunization-related surveillance and community-based efforts, with an emphasis on preparedness and rapid response. The process involves gathering data on disease trends, identifying health risks, and coordinating with local health authorities. Key components include timely reporting, mapping disease spread, and ensuring resources are available for swift intervention in case of outbreaks.

Takeaways

• 😀 Surveillance of potential outbreaks (KLB) involves continuous monitoring of diseases like DHF, measles, rabies, and other infectious diseases.
• 😀 New emerging diseases (e.g., H5N1, SARS, COVID-19) require specific surveillance efforts as they may not have been previously recognized.
• 😀 Immunization-preventable diseases (PD3I), such as diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus, are key focuses of disease surveillance efforts.
• 😀 Community-based surveillance empowers local populations, assisted by health workers, to monitor health issues and disease risks within their communities.
• 😀 The surveillance process includes preparation (both internal and external), continuous monitoring, reporting, and responding to potential outbreaks.
• 😀 Effective surveillance systems rely on the involvement of both health authorities and community members to ensure timely response to health risks.
• 😀 Surveillance at the village level requires preparation, community awareness, and a clear plan for reporting and intervention.
• 😀 Regular reporting of disease data and risk factors, such as weekly or monthly updates, helps maintain effective surveillance.
• 😀 The key performance indicators for surveillance include the completeness and timeliness of data reporting, the accuracy of disease reports, and the ability to predict trends in disease spread.
• 😀 Surveillance systems need to be flexible, simple, and capable of representing the entire community, ensuring data quality and quick responses to emerging health threats.

Q & A

What is surveillance of potential outbreak diseases?

Surveillance of potential outbreak diseases refers to continuous monitoring and observation of diseases that have the potential to cause outbreaks or epidemics, such as DHF, measles, rabies, tetanus, cholera, polio, malaria, and other infectious diseases.

What are 'new emerging diseases'?

'New emerging diseases' are infectious diseases that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Examples include bird flu (H5N1), SARS, H1N1, and COVID-19.

What diseases are included in the immunization-preventable diseases surveillance?

Diseases that can be prevented through immunization and are part of the surveillance include diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, neonatal tetanus, and polio.

What is community-based surveillance?

Community-based surveillance is a process where community members, with support from health workers, continuously monitor health issues and risk factors in their communities, including potential diseases and outbreaks.

What are the key steps in implementing community-based surveillance?

The key steps include: preparation (both internal and external), forming a surveillance team, conducting self-surveys (SMD) and external surveys (STD), planning surveillance activities, monitoring and reporting, and taking corrective actions when necessary.

What is the role of surveillance in disease management at the village level?

At the village level, surveillance helps in the identification of disease threats, tracking disease patterns, and providing rapid response through monitoring, reporting, and coordinating actions to address disease risks.

How is data collected and reported in village-based surveillance?

Data is collected through reports of disease cases, patient visits, and community-based reports. This data is mapped, analyzed, and sent to health centers for further action, including identifying risk factors and disease patterns.

What are the indicators of success for community-based surveillance?

Indicators of success include availability of human resources and infrastructure, accurate and timely reporting, the ability to handle disease cases promptly, and the prevention of outbreaks.

How do health centers play a role in surveillance at the village level?

Health centers assist by monitoring, providing resources, and conducting epidemiological investigations when outbreaks occur. They also provide regular reports on disease trends and make recommendations to local authorities.

What factors are considered in evaluating a surveillance system?

Evaluation of a surveillance system focuses on the completeness, timeliness, accuracy, and usefulness of the data collected. Other factors include system flexibility, acceptability, and the ability to predict future outbreaks.
