Response Ready Enterprise Data Integration (RREDI) is a suite of shared data tools, capabilities, and services within the One CDC Data Platform (1CDP) that are dedicated to public health readiness and emergency response.
About RREDI
Pronounced "ready," RREDI plays a mission-critical role for public health responses. RREDI enables CDC, federal, and jurisdictional partners to integrate, manage, share, and act upon response data during public health responses. This allows CDC and its response partners to provide timely insights to inform response-related decisions.
With RREDI, response staff can efficiently and consistently:
- Create data pipelines for rapid standup and use during a response.
- Integrate data from multiple, disparate data sources.
- Apply reusable tools and processes.
- Manage and automate key response data processes.
- Use standardized dashboards, visualizations, and reporting templates.
- Securely share essential data among CDC and response partners.
- Create a shared picture of situational awareness.
This supports:
- Improved early threat detection and action to improve health and save lives.
- More efficient use of resources.
- Reduced response time.
RREDI Tools and Services
RREDI tools and services are available through 1CDP to CDC staff and approved external partners, including academic institutions, health organizations, state, tribal, local, territorial (STLT) public health departments, and federal agencies.
Below are examples of reusable tools and services that can be used during public health responses supported by RREDI:
Bulk Upload Tool: During the COVID-19 response, CDC's National Wastewater Surveillance System used a bulk upload tool to upload large amounts of wastewater surveillance data instead of entering the data manually, supporting more efficient and frequent data sharing. This capability has been reused across multiple responses.
Interagency Readiness and Response Hub: During the 2024 Monkeypox Clade I response, CDC used the Interagency Readiness and Response Hub as a secure shared space for collaboration with federal partners. The hub provided access to shared situational awareness dashboards to support collaboration and shared visibility across federal partners working on the response.
Response Dashboard: The Response Dashboard template provides a standardized layout, content, and underlying data structure that can be quickly tailored for a specific response. This reusable feature reduces the time required to establish reporting structures.
Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) Event Management and Reporting: This capability manages CDC's EBS signal and event reports, including products such as the EBS Daily Report. It brings together early warning, situational awareness, and response support capabilities in the platform.
Phone Duty Log: The Phone Duty Log is a reusable module that can be rapidly deployed during responses to track partner questions, requests, and follow-up communications in one place, supporting timely follow-up and coordination.
Epi-X: 1CDP's Epidemic Information Exchange (Epi-X) is the agency's bidirectional communication platform that allows STLT and federal partners to notify the public health community of potential cross-jurisdictional threats. This capability centralizes report management, enables automated report notifications and standardized reporting, and allows public health partners nationwide to share information with CDC about infectious disease exposures and outbreaks.
Minimal Data Necessary (MDN) Pipeline for Response Case Data: This data pipeline enables programs to collect data aligned to CDC's MDN standard at the start of a response. Data can be pulled from existing systems, uploaded in bulk, or entered directly in the platform to support analysis and sharing.
Preparedness and Response Map: This dashboard summarizes information in a map-based format about CDC response activations and public health events in the United States and globally using data from other emergency response platforms, event-based surveillance, CDC Global Health Center sources, and Epi-X reports. This helps support situational awareness of emerging and ongoing public health emergencies and outbreaks.
RREDI Supports Responses
RREDI has supported multiple public health responses:
Marburg (2024): During the Marburg response, CDC used RREDI tools to exchange data with jurisdictional partners in record time. For the first time, text messaging data were ingested and analyzed in 1CDP, allowing information from travelers returning from affected countries to be integrated with other traveler data.
Monkeypox (2022 and 2024): RREDI tools and templates created during the 2022 monkeypox response were reused for the 2024 Monkeypox Clade I response, enabling the response team to quickly establish data and reporting processes. For example, RREDI's automated matching capability linked case and laboratory data, reducing response setup time.
COVID-19 (2020): During the COVID-19 response, RREDI enabled responders to manage more than a petabyte of data, integrate hundreds of data sources, and develop dashboards and visuals to support real-time data sharing and situational awareness for CDC staff, STLT and federal partners, and the public.
E-Cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) (2019): During the EVALI response, RREDI automated parts of data collection, cleaning, and analysis, reducing the time required to provide actionable reports to STLT health departments and CDC leaders by 95%.
