The State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS) is ready for statewide release and use online at http://sendss.state.ga.us/. The security of all data entered into SENDSS will be supported by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption using VeriSign certification. Public health officers, state officials, and other designated individuals will be provided access to a password-protected set of dynamic web pages and web-based tools. Future versions of SENDSS will allow users to download data that have been entered into the system electronically to their own computer.

All districts and counties with Internet access should begin submitting notifiable disease reports (not including TB, STDs, or AIDS) through SENDSS beginning Jan 28. Previous users of the system during pilot testing will need to update their user information upon accessing SENDSS. New users of the system will need to register with on the SENDSS site before access to SENDSS will be permitted.

For those who are interested in SENDSS but do not have notifiable diseases to report, please feel free to explore the SENDSS Demo system.

Please contact Alex Cowell, SENDSS Business Analyst/Project Manager at 404-657-6444 or via email ajcowell@dhr.state.ga.us for information on SENDSS training, or for questions about the system.
