8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
BioSense is a national program intended to improve the nation's capabilities for disease detection, monitoring, and near real-time health situational awareness. Routine public health (PH) surveillance and investigations involve the manual reporting of cases to PH agencies and phone calls to healthcare providers for more detailed patient chart information. In PH emergencies these methods can be slow and incomplete. BioSense is a CDC developed and hosted web-based system that accesses existing data from healthcare organizations across the country. BioSense surveillance methods use advanced algorithms for data analysis to address the needs of PH at all levels for identification, tracking, and management of naturally occurring and potential bioterrorism events. Today, BioSense is a working system that supports over 500 registered users and receives an average of 175,000 real-time messages per day from 530+ hospitals. Data are also received daily from approximately 1200 DoD and VA hospitals and healthcare facilities. Microbiology tests and results are received from two of the nation's largest commercial laboratories, LabCorp and Quest Diagnosis, and outpatient retail anti-infective prescription data are being received from Per-Se. While BioSense has achieved important successes, new approaches are needed for continued progress. The new BioSense strategy focuses on the development of local, state and national real time biosurveillance capabilities, enhancement of communications across all levels of the public health system and jurisdictions, and enhancement of linkages between public health and the clinical care system. The target is for BioSense to reflect the structure and operational realities of the public health system. Namely, the system should be a federation of national, state, and local components. Each organizational entity will retain control of its own data, and share this data on an aggregate level across jurisdictions. CDC will work with its stakeholders to develop the appropriate open source tools to enable this level of collaboration. The need for a national biosurveillance system remains critical to national security. With the advancement of both technology and PH informatics, CDC is leading the charge towards an integrated, open, and collaborative PH environment for biosurveillance. A new Alternatives Analysis was completed as part of the strategic planning process on 1/31/2009.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

# of FTEs45452545
2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
yes
2.a. If "yes," how many and in what year?
In 2007 this investment had 30 FTEs, an additional 4 have been hired bringing the total to 34 as of 03/31/08. Leadership believes the current need for the remainder of '09 is to hire an additional 10-11 FTEs bringing the total up to 45. The Summary of Spending indicated 45 FTE positions by the end of 2010 and through 2013. The BioSense leadership believes this staffing level will yield the highest return on investment and allow for efficient development and operations.
3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
The total investment funding for 2009 continued at approximately the same amount as in FY 2008. However, it had to be distributed between intramural and extramural. This effectively decreased the intramural funding to the level as indicated in the Summary of Spending table above. The intramural investment funding for 2008 has been decreased by $8.5 Million as a result of final FY 2008 appropriations. The total investment decrease from plan was $19.9 Million (From $49.094M to 29.137M, including extramural), with the remaining decrease effecting the extramural business case. A replanning effort is underway to determine the change of scope that is required due to the funding decrease and the Milestone table will be updated with the new scope. Note, total milestone cost and schedule table and the Summary of Spending are not in balance at this time due to final appropriation for FY 2008 resulting in a decrease in funding level.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

6. Will the application leverage existing components and/or applications across the Government (i.e., FirstGov, Pay.Gov, etc)?
yes
6.a. If yes, please describe.
Optimal use of government funds is achieved by sharing CDC IT Infrastructure, CDC Secure Data Network (SDN) and PHIN Vocabulary Services. BioSense receives and displays data from BioWatch, the bioterroism detection system funded and administered by the Department of Homeland Security, with participation from CDC, EPA, and FBI. The received BioWatch data is Intra-agency data.

PART TWO


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2008-01-15
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
yes
1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
BioSense underwent an Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) assessment in order to ensure the chosen architecture and implementation approach is in alignment with industry best practices. This assessment began in May 2006 with the intent to do a thorough review of all aspects of the BioSense technical architecture, platform and operations. The study provided strengths and weaknesses as well recommendations to CDC on refining the vision, establishing goals, outcomes and performance metrics for BioSense. As a result of the IV&V, an updated risk management plan was implemented in September 2006. This risk management plan was reviewed and updated in January 2008.
3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:
The BioSense scope and budget planning using a work breakdown structure technique that decomposes each work element into its fundamental components. Each component is evaluated based on a risk assessment and the appropriate level of funding is assigned based on the work element's risk value. The budget for each element is derived based on the most likely scenario that has been risk adjusted. The total of each element comprises the full budget for BioSense. BioSense reviews its risks on a weekly basis and evaluates any potential changes to the budget plan.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?
no
2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?
no
3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
no
