Integrated Viral Hepatitis Surveillance and Prevention - New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) continues with prevention and surveillance efforts for viral hepatitis. Prevention efforts include planning for and implementing viral hepatitis elimination activities with partners and stakeholders, working to change current regulations and policies to enhance surveillance capabilities and ensure links to care and treatment for those living with viral hepatitis. Surveillance is a key component of determining disease burden and responding appropriately. NJDOH uses the Communicable Disease Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS) to monitor cases of viral hepatitis to identify hotspots, outbreaks, and new infections. NJDOH continues to work with internal and external partners to identify, classify, and investigate viral hepatitis cases and ensure case completeness. NJDOH fosters and maintains relationships with healthcare systems, harm reduction centers (HRC), local health departments, corrections, addictions providers, and private provider partners to enhance investigation, screening, and treatment data in CDRSS.
