Biosurveillance Common Operating Picture

Definition
The Biosurveillance Common Operating Picture (BCOP''') is a comprehensive electronic picture with assessments of current biological events, trends and their potential impacts on U.S. homeland security. The BCOP provides a secure platform for cross-domain information analysis by NBIS subject matter experts to learn more about and collectively evaluate current situations. An impact assessment of an event constitutes a major portion of the NBIS BCOP information dissemination.
