ID: "One of the biggest tools we use to get data is SYNCRONYS.. 95% or plus [of notifiable conditions] come electronically from laboratories and other reporters through SYNCRONYS to the Department of Health, and then they're divvied out into different programs for public health use." The quote is attributed to Dr. Chad Smelser, Deputy State Epidemiologist, New Mexico Department of Health. End ID.

ID: "We use it more than just for infectious diseases. Our maternal child health program, for example, uses it to track down babies that are born in high-risk situations, in order to ensure that they're accounted for and put into appropriate care. We use it for Syndromic and Emergency Department data... Another way we are utilizing SYNCRONYS is to help us modernize our data systems." The quote is attributed to Dr. Chad Smelser, Deputy State Epidemiologist, New Mexico Department of Health. End ID.
