How is NC DETECT related to NCHESS?
Data from the North Carolina Hospital Emergency Surveillance System (NCHESS) are loaded into NC DETECT (which was formerly known as the North Carolina Bioterrorism and Emerging Infection Prevention System, NC BEIPS). The NC DETECT team at the UNC Department of Emergency Medicine monitors the quality of the NCHESS data and work with hospitals, their vendors and the North Carolina Hospital Association (NCHA) to ensure NC DETECT users have access to the most accurate data possible.
