Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has selected 3M Health Information Systems to provide data mapping and terminology consulting services in support of the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) BioSense public health initiative.

According to St. Paul, Minn.-based 3M, it will standardize and integrate patient data being sent to CDC and BioSense from major healthcare providers, pharmacies, and clinical laboratories nationwide.

The CDC's BioSense program seeks to provide early detection of a possible bio-terrorism threat or naturally occurring disease outbreak, and supports public health officials and scientists in situational awareness and effective public-health response.
