Research on the Optimization Path of Infectious Disease Monitoring System in Public Health Emergencies

After years of development, China’s infectious disease monitoring system has formed a nationwide network with medical institutions as sentinel points, disease control institutions as the core, and information systems as the support. However, in public health emergencies, it still exposes problems such as insufficient monitoring sensitivity, uneven data quality, and inefficient cross-departmental collaboration. This article analyzes the current status of monitoring systems at home and abroad and proposes optimization paths from the perspectives of monitoring network construction, data capability improvement, and legalization construction. It aims to provide a theoretical reference for improving the ability of infectious disease monitoring, early warning, and emergency response.
