Implementation and Comparison of Preprocessing Methods for Biosurveillance Data
Content Type: Abstract
Modern biosurveillance relies on multiple sources of both prediagnostic and diagnostic data, updated daily, to discover disease outbreaks. Intrinsic to this effort are two assumptions: (1) the data being analyzed contain early indicators… read more -
Preparing Biosurveillance Data for Classic Monitoring
Content Type: Abstract
Modern surveillance systems use statistical process control (SPC) charts such as Cumulative Sum and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average charts for monitoring daily counts of such quantities as ICD-9 codes from ED visits,… read more -

Privacy Protection versus Cluster Detection in Spatial Epidemiology
Content Type: Abstract
With the widespread deployment of near real time population health monitoring, there is increasing focus on spatial cluster detection for identifying disease outbreaks. These spatial epidemiologic methods rely on knowledge of patient location to… read more -
Processes for Data Gathering, Assessment and Disease Event Tracking
Content Type: Abstract
Protecting U.S. animal populations requires constant monitoring of disease events and conditions which might lead to disease emergence, both domestically and globally. Since 1999, the Center for Emerging issues (CEI has actively… read more -
Project Management and Design for Syndromic Surveillance Software
Content Type: Abstract
Management of software development projects involves a collection of well understood issues which are not often found in other project management areas. Identifying and managing these issues primarily requires that the manager is aware of the… read more -
Proposal of a Framework for Evaluating Military Surveillance Systems for Early Detection of Outbreaks on Duty Areas
Content Type: Abstract
Evaluation is a major topic in order to enhance syndromic surveillance. In May 2004, a CDC working group developed a framework for evaluating public health surveillance systems for early detection of outbreaks. This framework has… read more
