Data-Adaptive Multivariate Control Charts for Routine Health Monitoring
Content Type: Abstract
This paper investigates the use of data-adaptive multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) charts for outbreak detection using real-world syndromic data. The widely used EARS [1] methods and other adaptive implementations assume implicitly… read more -
Resolving the 'Boy Who Cried Wolf' Syndrome
Content Type: Abstract
To date, most syndromic surveillance systems rely heavily on complicated statistical algorithms to identify aberrations. The assumption is that when the statistics identify something unusual, follow-up should occur. However, with multiple strata… read more -
Analytic Methodologies for Disease Surveillance Using Multiple Sources of Evidence
Content Type: Webinar
This presentation is for public health practitioners and methodology developers interested in using statistical methods to combine evidence from multiple data sources for increased sensitivity to disease outbreaks. Methods described will account for… read more -
Improving Detection of Call Clusters through Surveillance of Poison Center Data
Content Type: Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses the National Poison Data System (NPDS) to conduct surveillance of calls to United States PCs. PCs provide triage and treatment advice for hazardous exposures through a free national hotline.… read more -
Jurisdictional Usage of the New ESSENCE Word Alert Feature
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance systems have historically focused on aggregating data into syndromes for analysis and visualization. These syndromes provide users a way to quickly filter large amounts of data into a manageable number of streams to analyze.… read more -
A Practitioner-Driven Research Agenda for Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Journal Article
ABSTRACT Syndromic surveillance has expanded since 2001 in both scope and geographic reach and has benefited from research studies adapted from numerous disciplines. The practice of syndromic surveillance continues to evolve rapidly. The… read more -
Evaluation of Exposure-Type Stratification to Improve Poison Center Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses the National Poison Data System (NPDS) to conduct surveillance of calls to United States poison centers (PCs) to identify clusters of reports of hazardous exposures and illnesses. NPDS stores… read more -
Refinement of a Population-Based Bayesian Network for Fusion of Health Surveillance Data
Content Type: Abstract
The ESSENCE demonstration module was built to help DoD health monitors make routine decisions based on disparate evidence sources such as daily counts of ILI-related chief complaints, ratios of positive lab tests for influenza, patient age… read more
