Assessing the Work Practices and Information Needs of Disease Investigators

Description

Investigation of cases, clusters, and outbreaks of infectious disease is a complex process requiring substantial support from protocols, distributed and cooperative work, and information systems. We set out to identify public health information needs, the types of data required to meet these needs, and the potential alignment with visualizations of this data.

Objective

The goal of this work is to identify specific work practices in disease investigation that would be supported by data visualization, such as identifying exposure, contact, and spatiotemporal clustering.
