Surveillance for acute respiratory infections: should we include all outpatient visits or focus on urgent care areas?
Content Type: Abstract
A comprehensive electronic medical record (EMR) represents a rich source of information that can be harnessed for epidemic surveillance. At this time, however, we do not know how EMR-based data elements should be combined to improve the performance… read more… that these areas received only 15% of total outpatient visits.1 Because of this seemingly favorable signal-to-noise … that are urgent (triangles).

Incorporating seasonality and other long-term trends improves surveillance for acute respiratory infections
Content Type: Abstract
As the electronic medical record (EMR) market matures, long-term time series of EMR-based surveillance data are becoming available. In this work, we hypothesized that statistical aberrancy-detection methods that incorporate seasonality and other… read more… istic (AMOC) curves for epidemic Detection Delay (y-axis, in days) as a function of FAR (x-axis).
