An Innovative Design for Conducting Simulation Exercises on Electronic Disease Surveillance System
Content Type: Abstract
In order to be best prepared to identify health events using electronic disease surveillance systems, it is vital for users to participate in regular exercises that realistically simulate how events may present in their system following disease… read more -
Enhancing Event Communication in Disease Surveillance: ECC 2.0
Content Type: Abstract
Regional disease surveillance systems allow users the ability to view large amounts of population health information and examine automated alerts that suggest increased disease activity. These systems require users to view and… read more -
Essential Requirements for Effective Advanced Disease Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Advanced surveillance systems require expertise from the fields of medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, and information technology to develop a surveillance application that will automatically acquire, archive, process and present data to the user… read more -
Event Communication in a Regional Disease Surveillance System
Content Type: Abstract
Versatile, user-friendly visualization tools are required to organize the wealth of information available to users of large, regional surveillance systems into a coherent view of population health status. Communications … read more -
Analytic disease surveillance methodology based on emulation of experienced human monitors
Content Type: Abstract
Recently published studies evaluate statistical alerting methods for disease surveillance based on detection of modeled signals in a data background of either authentic historical data or randomized samples. Differences in regional… read more -
Biosurveillance applications for resource-limited settings: open ESSENCE and ESSENCE desktop edition
Content Type: Abstract
More than a decade ago, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) developed the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based… read more -
The Tradeoffs Driving Policy and Research Decisions in Biosurveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Every public health monitoring operation faces important decisions in its design phase. These include information sources to be used, the aggregation of data in space and time, the filtering of data records for required… read more -
Using Electronic Surveillance Systems in Resource-Poor Settings: Why and How
Content Type: Abstract
Difficulties in timely acquisition and interpretation of accurate data on communicable diseases can impede outbreak detection and control. These limitations are of global importance: they contribute to avoidable morbidity,… read more
