[The National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP)](https://www.cdc.gov/nssp/php/about/index.html) is an effort to track epidemiologically relevant conditions.

This dataset in particular tracks emergency department (ED) visits arising from a subset of influenza-like illnesses, specifically influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

- Primary: [NSSP Emergency Department Visit Trajectories by State and Sub State Regions- COVID-19, Flu, RSV, Combined dataset](https://data.cdc.gov/Public-Health-Surveillance/2023-Respiratory-Virus-Response-NSSP-Emergency-Dep/rdmq-nq56/about_data)

Signals derived from the secondary dataset have suffix `_2023RVR` in their signal names.

The percent visits signals are calculated as a fraction of visits at facilities reporting to NSSP, rather than all facilities in the area.

For primary signals, `county`, `state` and `nation` level data is reported as-is from NSSP, without modification, while `hhs`, `hrr` and `msa` are estimated by Delphi.

### Geographic weighting
56
48
As the original data is a percentage and raw case counts are not available, `hrr`,`msa`, and `hhs` values are computed from county-level data using a weighted mean. Each county is assigned a weight equal to its population in the last census (2020). Unreported counties are implicitly treated as having a weight of 0 or a value equal to the group mean.
