David W. Fraser believes that not all health officials are dealing with the same issues related to surveillance and that officials have not agreed on the definition of surveillance. Public health workers should differentiate between surveillance and the information they need to perform their jobs. Different areas have different response times, resources and political influences. Surveillance may be most effective at the local level because local officials can react more quickly to problems.
