Notifiable disease surveillance systems provide essential data for infectious disease prevention and control programs at the local, state, and national levels. Given that reporting completeness is known to vary considerably, this review identifies methods that can reliably enhance completeness of reporting. These surveillance-related activities include initiating active surveillance when appropriate; implementing automated, electronic laboratory-based reporting; strengthening ties with clinicians and other key partners in notifiable disease reporting; and increasing the use of laboratory diagnostic tests in identifying new cases. Despite ample data in support of these strategies, notifiable disease surveillance continues to receive insufficient attention and resources. Recent attention to public health preparedness provides an opportunity to strengthen notifiable disease surveillance and enhance completeness of reporting.
