Summary and Outlook¶
The OHS Codex/KIP is a new framework that helps to establish and strengthen inter-institutional collaboration and transdisciplinary knowledge transfer in the area of surveillance data integration and interpretation, along the One Health (OH) objective of improving health and well-being.
It is based on the observation that improved surveillance data integration and interpretation can only be achieved if responsible institutions perform practical steps in at least one of the two action areas:
- Improve existing sector specific surveillance data reporting such that data and reports can be better used in the context of One Health in the future
- Plan, execute or improve joint surveillance efforts that consider the One Health needs right from the beginning.
To support such practical steps the OHS Codex/KIP has been designed in such a way, that it can act as a resource itself, i.e. it provides a collection of methods, tools and resources that could be used or customized by interested institutions. Compared to the guidance available in the Tripartite Guide the OHS Codex/KIP focus on the needs of national European institutions. It has also been designed as a living document, so that it can be updated continuously. The OHS Codex/KIP framework specifically takes into account that implementation of improvements into established surveillance routines is an extraordinary challenge. For that reason the OHS Codex/KIP acts as an “umbrella” for solutions supporting better surveillance data integration and interpretation in the future. The OHS Codex/KIP aims at raising awareness of the work achieved by other One Health EJP H2020 projects highlighting the outcomes from other scientific and integrative activities that can be of help by the One Health community such as the inventory described below.
One Health EJP Outcome Inventory¶
The One Health EJP Outcome Inventory is a public online database that catalogues the outcomes and updates of the Joint Research and Joint Integrative Projects of the One Health EJP. It actively links stakeholders’ needs and interests with the scientific and integrative results from the consortium. Given its public nature, it is targeted towards a wide range of stakeholders, including national stakeholders like ministries of authorities, other One Health networks, and EU and international agencies”
