How does the BioSense application structure access to state and Metropolitan Reporting Area (MRA) level data?
BioSense has worked with state and local health departments to identify appropriate data sharing guidelines. The default policy for BioSense will have MRA data being shared with all local jurisdictions that participate in that metropolitan geographic area. State health departments will have access to data related to their state, including any MRAs that fall completely within state borders. As part of the BioSense system, we have also agreed to facilitate modifications to these jurisdictional policies on the basis of overlapping and contiguous metropolitan areas. Other agencies needing access to the BioSense system will receive authorization from the appropriate jurisdictional BioSense Administrator(s).
