Introduction
The recent outbreaks of severe emerging infectious diseases, particularly severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS) and more recently H5N1 avian influenza, have focused attention on the weakness
of epidemiological surveillance and response systems and the heightened vulnerability of people.
The timely detection of outbreaks at district, regional and national level is a priority function of
communicable disease surveillance systems for countries. The World Health Organization (WHO)
Headquarters, Department of Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Response (CSR) is in the
process of revising the International Health Regulations (IHR) to include the requirement for Member
States to maintain an adequate core capacity in detecting and responding to significant public health
threats1. This requires that Member States develop effective early warning systems (EWARS) and
strengthen their investigation and response capacities.
The proposed project is intended to support interventions to reduce vulnerability in Estonia through
improvements to computerised epidemiological surveillance and response systems.
This project is part of Transition Facility Project (TFP) 2004/006-270.05.01 that aims to develop
Estonian communicable diseases surveillance system to meet the EU requirements. TFP consists of
two Twinning Light (the present and EE04/IB/SO/02) and one Technical Assistance (TA) contract
(Contract 2). All three contracts are closely related both on substance and on time-scale. The results
of the current project will be used as a direct input for tendering procedures of TA (Contract 2) and
EE04-IB-SO-02, for this reason the Italian proposed working group will submit also a proposal for
EE04/IB/SO/02 as suggested by Estonian Authority.
Services proposed by Member State
The general objective of this project is:
1 International Health Regulations, Working paper for regional consultations, 2004. IGWG/IHR/Working paper/12.2003,

Project Title: Working out methodology and technical specifications for computerised communicable diseases surveillance
system
Phare reference number: 2004/006-270.05.01– Twinning Light Project reference number: EE04-IB-SO-01
-
Improved health care and health protection with regard to communicable diseases, on the
basis of relevant EU directives and treaties.
Namely, the project impact will include working out the methodology and technical specifications for an
improved and integrated national disease surveillance and preparedness system; a comprehensive
system for investigation, case management and mitigation at local, national and subregional levels; an
improved information and communication mechanism; and supportive national policies for
communicable disease control.
The Project’s purposes are:
(i)
to strengthen disease surveillance systems for early diseases detection and response;
(ii)
to help develop national capacity to respond to an outbreak;
(iii)
to harmonize national efforts to promote a subregional collaboration mechanism for
communicable disease control and the monitoring, containment, and prevention of outbreaks;
(iv)
to validate and implement an integrated surveillance system for waterborne disease.
Surveillance systems are also a pivotal element in order to control waterborne diseases,
caused by microbiological or chemical contamination of water affecting large numbers of
people and involving viral hepatitis, cholera, typhoid, campylobacteriosis, legionellosis,
dysentery and gastroenteritis, diseases from Giardia and Cryptosporidium, emerging new
pathogens posing a special concern in western Europe; chemical contamination of
groundwater, causing a wide range of health effects involve lead, arsenic, fluoride, radon,
nitrates and pesticides either naturally occurring or resulting from human activities. Water
contact diseases include toxic effects of cyanobacteria created by eutrophication and illnesses
such as gastroenteritis and ear and eye infections.
Early detection and investigation of outbreaks provides some of the best insights into the agent
and the process failures originating waterborne diseases, thus also providing essential
information for hazard analysis and risk assessment associated with drinking water.
The main topics of integrated surveillance system for waterborne disease include:
-
most important water-related diseases which should be brought into a systematic
reporting (i.e. computerised surveillance data base);
-
clinical and water supply data to assess the risk for waterborne diseases;
-
strategies aimed at data integration into a systematic reporting.
The Italian Partner will work closely with the BC Institutions involved in the project and other
stakeholders to identify if there are gaps in actual Estonian system and to improve and integrate that
system.
The software programmes developed in the ensuing Twinning Light Project EE04/IB/SO/02 will be
compatible with the EU networks, i.e. Surveillance of Communicable Diseases Network, European
Influenza Surveillance Scheme and Early Warning Response System. Additionally, along with the
technical equipment that will be purchased, they will be assisting monitoring and surveillance of
infectious diseases in Estonia. The cardinal change of evidence and processing of information from
manual to modern electronic system will raise the capacity and speed of data transfer and thereby
also the speed of application of adequate measures. Underreporting will be reduced.

system
Phare reference number: 2004/006-270.05.01– Twinning Light Project reference number: EE04-IB-SO-01
2. Software specification
A working group will be established at the recipient institution, composed of representatives of HPI,
MoH and MSP short-term experts. The group will be coordinated by the Project Leader together with a
representative of the HIP. The working group will define the conditions, outputs, inputs, and
functionality of the special software for computerised communicable diseases surveillance system.
Methodologies and technical specifications for communicable disease case definitions, surveillance,
data collection and analysis methods and data exchange protocols will be implemented.
In order to fulfil the above mentioned purposes, the state of the art will be taken into account of the
level of knowledge and attitudes of the existing communicable disease surveillance systems
Europewide, as they arise from the results of specific European projects in which the proposing
Institutions are involved. At the same time, the experience of BC Institution involved will be the base
for twinning light activities, as far as a computerised communicable diseases surveillance system is
concerned.
The specified software requirements for a computerised communicable diseases surveillance system
will serve as the basis which a qualified software development house will create the required software
(Contract 2). Furthermore EWRS will allow immediate exchange of views on risk assessment and risk
management crucial for timely public health action. Such system could be a valuable tool during a
number of outbreaks/incidents.
With respect to the parameters of the new software and its applicability and use at HIP’s individual
workplaces, technical specifications for purchase and installation of appropriate computers with
accessories will be worked out within this component plus connection thereof to the Internet. Thereby
an operating electronic network will be designed, which will enable immediate interactive exchange of
all relevant information on unusual epidemiological events. A comprehensive documentation output
will be produced through to the analysis stages, design models, testing and maintenance tool,
covering software development from requirements gathering; such an approach will provide significant
benefits in helping to build rigorous, traceable models of software systems in a consistent manner as
well as robust, maintainable and flexible implementation.
3. Integrated small-scale projects
A pilot surveillance system for waterborne disease will be performed at selected regional areas. The
pilot site will be selected in accordance with the Estonian partners, basically the criteria that will be
considered are a) geographic criterion; b) representative ness of the area; c) availability of data.
4. Study Visit
Ten employees from BC Institutions will spend a short-term temporary study visit in Italy. The objective
of the study visit is to acquire professional knowledge and experience of monitoring, control, as well as
the system of processing and evaluating information reported on occurrence of infectious diseases in
the EU states, and possibilities of modification and implementation of such systems in Estonian
conditions in the framework of integration to the relevant EU structures.
Therefore, the services required will introduce a working approach conducive to allowing the
communication among the different components and related working groups, standardize and
harmonise the outcomes of each activity, transfer the necessary know-how to all involved internal
resources and apply, during all project life cycle, control and monitoring instruments over the activities’
advancement process. Moreover, all relevant key subjects and stakeholders will be involved according

to a participatory process aimed at identifying the components through a bottom-up approach
during all project life cycle.
The proposed methodological approach may well be adapted to any needs raised by the
Institutions involved in project, either for the consultancy activities or for the operative and support
activities. The MSP, as a guarantee to the success of the activities provided, will devote particular
attention to the following critical aspects:
Organizational: clear definition of the tasks assigned to each working group and experts, and
consistent operative integration of the activities and the draft outputs in a detailed plan of activities.
Methodological: strict observation in the use of standard methodologies with the consistent
application of appropriate tools allowing for:
– the management of the scheduling/planning of the activities for reducing the timing
– the day-by-day operational management of the criticalities
– speeding up of the processes for defining solutions through the administration of the information
and communication flow
– the integration, in the process of finding alternative solutions of processes for managing changes
that the MSP may introduce in the working groups, in particular with regards to functionality,
organisation and support systems.
– the swift documentation of management for an effective sharing of information
Functional: In order to guarantee project quality and effectiveness, the project will provide experts
with consolidated experience in the sectors required. Such experts will also be working in teams, and
operate under the guidance of the Project Leader.

Comparative advantages
The integration and complementariness between the MSPs will offer a proper structure for the
supply of the support required. In particular, the MSPs strengths are based on:



A work methodology focused on a multidisciplinary and holistic approach able to address
to all the aspects (technical, economic, institutional, environmental, social, legal) concerned
with computerized communicable diseases surveillance system.
A team of experts with high level of expertise relying on consolidated experience in tasks
similar to this assignment.
The definition of an institutional support based on quality and innovation through:
 The research of solutions focused on coherence, complementarity and coordination
with the policies adopted at national and local levels.

Knowledge of the Community acquis and ability to formulate solutions which are EUcompatible.
Important advantages in the cooperation between Estonian and Italian Institutions are:
 the ongoing collaborations between Estonia and Italy in major scientific, cultural and
economic initiatives have already proved the existence of a common basis and a
reciprocal understanding that will facilitate the development also in this project of a fruitful
partnership;
 Italy has gained significant experience in the development of common approaches and
interactions between health and environment. In fact the major part of the experts will
provide their own experience on the field;
 the Italian experience in computerised communicable diseases surveillance system could
constitute a reference to support Estonia for the capacity building in these matters; it has
been built trough several years’ projects of cooperation in many European and nonEuropean countries; since the early ’80, several ISS professionals have been participating
to most of the regional or European initiatives built around communicable disease control;
ISS is also one of the training sites of the European Training Programme in Epidemiology
(EPIET);
 a significant contribution can be given by Italy thanks the involvement of professional
coming from national, regional and local institutions;
 as it was stated above, the project Leader, Dr. N. Schinaia, has been participating to
various expert and advisory groups of European projects aimed at communicable disease
control, where professionals from Estonia did participate, too.

Phare reference number: 2004/006-270.05.01– Twinning Light Project reference number: EE04-IB-SO-01
Budget
The project could start as soon as the covenant will be agreed between the Italian and the Estonian
authorities. Regular progress reports will evaluate whether the project inputs continue to be adequate.
Allocation of resources from the twinning light budget to the various phases and components of the
project will be discussed and clarified with the Estonian partners.
As well, in order to not exceed the established budget and accomplish all project activities, included
the integrated surveillance system for waterborne disease, very important for project, the candidate
Project Leader, dr. N. Schinaia, for the current Twining Light, has thought opportune to reduce from
450 to 350 euro the own fees and the fees of some expert, as Dr. Massimo Ottaviani, although these
experts satisfy all the requirements for Class III expert (450 euros fee per day, see CVs attached). In
such a way no effort reduction for others experts/activities will be needed in agreement with the fiche
guidelines.

The Italian Ministry of Health
The central Government and the Ministry of Health, in particular, determine the targets of the
Italian National Health Service (INHS) and the most important measures to be implemented.
They determine which services are to be guaranteed to all the citizens in condition of uniformity,
the yearly total amount of financial resources and set up the principles by which financial
resources, deriving from the taxation fund, are to be allocated to Regions and autonomous
Provinces.
Moreover the Ministry of Health has the task of supporting, monitoring and assessing the
achievement of health objectives established in the National Health Plan and serves as a guide
for the uniform implementation of prevention and care throughout the national territory in order to
ensure accessibility and equity. If necessary the Ministry of Health may also intervene in cases
of persistent or serious mismanagement.
In addition to 6 Offices of Direct Collaboration to the Minister, 3 Departments(comprising 11
Directorates General, based in the headquarters in Rome, the Ministry of health also comprises
territorial health and territorial veterinary offices for Airport/Port Health.
As far as technical and scientific matters are concerned the Ministry of Health is linked to and
has the supervision of three highly qualified National Organizations, namely the “Istituto
Superiore di Sanità” (National Institute of Helath - ISS), the” Istituto Superiore per la
Prevenzione e la sicurezza del Lavoro” (National Institute for Prevention and Safety at Work ISPESL) and the “Agenzia per I Servizi Sanitari Regionali” (National Agency for Regional
Helath Care Services). Expert technical and scientific opinions are provided also by the Higher
Health Council that, consulted by the by the Minister on specific problems, can autonomously
express its advise on public health items.

ISTITUTO SUPERIORE DI SANITA’
Italian National Institute of Health - ISS
The Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italian National Institute of Health - ISS) is the Italian technical and
scientific body of the Italian National Health Service research, dealing with research, control and
training functions promoting public health.
It is responsible for assisting in law developing and implementation as concern laboratory standards,
testing methods and experimental design and risk evaluations.
ISS takes part in European Union working groups and commissions on human health and
environmental protection.
The Department of Infectious, Parasitic and Immuno-Mediated Diseases aims at protecting the
human population from diseases caused by pathogenic micro-organisms, viruses and parasites, and
to study the mechanisms of immune-mediated diseases.
The Department carries out research and provides advice and services in the field of epidemic
infections caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, and immune-mediated diseases, with
special emphasis on poverty-related diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria). It is also responsible for
the control of infectious and immunological emergencies and for the preparation of plans to respond to
possible bioterrorist attacks. Among the many projects currently in progress are the generation,
application and control of new cellular and molecular tools for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment
of infectious, parasitic and immune-mediated diseases, with a special focus on vaccines and
vaccination.
The Department is also responsible for monitoring the efficacy and quality of existing and new
vaccines and immunotherapeutic tools. Some of the current studies aim to improve the treatment of
infections through the development of new antibiotics, the rational use of available chemotherapeutic
drugs and measures to fight resistance to antibiotics. The Department is involved in developing
national and international networks for epidemiological and microbiological surveillance. Finally, basic
research focuses on understanding the complex pathogenesis of infectious, parasitic and immunemediated diseases and the mechanisms underlying both protective and harmful immune responses.

Research Interests
He has been mainly working as a researcher at the National Institute of Health in the areas of
evaluation of the chemical safety of xenobiotics in environment and food, environmental
contaminants and endogenous compounds in environmental and food matrices and analytical
chemistry. Fields of investigation involved contaminants in drinking water, phycotoxins in
microalgae and seafood, biogenic amines in fish and meat products, antimicrobial and antioxidant
additives,risk assessment related to consumption of matrices potentially containing residues or
environmental contaminants.

Project Title: Working out methodology and technical specifications for computerised communicable diseases
surveillance system
Phare reference number: 2004/006-270.05.01– Twinning Light Project reference number: EE04-IB-SO-01
Part of the technical-scientific activity has been also focused on designing and managing
procedures and on developing new, advanced chemical analytical methods, based on GC, HPLC
and micro HPLC, coupled with conventional detectors, GC and LC coupled with mass
spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS, LC-MS-MS) for the identification of
trace contaminants in drinking water, chemical elucidation of new aquatic toxins and new
biologically active metabolites in shellfish and microalgae from different European marine and
freshwater areas. The activities have also been focused on the development of selective
electrochemical biosensors (enzyme and immunobased biosensors inserted into different flow
configurations e.g. Flow injection and liquid chromatography) and their applications on analytical
chemistry for consumer safety. Particularly, in the field of aquatic toxin research important results
have been obtained concerning the identification of new toxins responsible for Diarrhoeic Shellfish
Poisoning, as well as the identification of microalgal species producing toxins and the development
of new direct confirmatory methods for toxins in marine biological materials.
The above studies significantly contributed to improve knowledge needed for the risk assessment
process concerning a number of chemical and biological contaminants and residues in water and
foods. Highly specific and sensitive methods have been developed, based on new chemical
approaches performing unambiguous identification of the analytes on a structural basis.
The activities were mainly carried out within a number of financed research projects (funding
provided by ISS, Ministry of Health, Ministry of University and Scientific and Technological
Research – MURST-, Ministry of Agriculture) concerning safety of consumers, to support the risk
assessment process for contaminants and residues.
Basic and advanced training activities on drinking water and food hygiene, also involving risk
assessment, laboratory quality assurance systems, chemical analyses for additives, contaminants,
residues and toxicants monitoring, addressed to personnel of the National Health Service and to
food laboratory experts from health protection services of foreign countries (e.g. Romania,
Palestinian, Sri-lanka).
Co-ordinator of web-site content for Department of Environment and Primary Prevention.
Quality Assurance and Methods
