In the United States, surveillance of vaccine uptake for childhood infections is limited in scope and spatial resolution. The National Immunization Survey (NIS) - the gold standard tool for monitoring vaccine uptake among children aged 19-35 months - is typically constrained to producing coarse... Read more

Content type: Abstract
Geographic Information System (GIS) applications are increasingly being used for public health purposes. GIS technology provides visual tools – through the creation of computerized maps, graphs, and tables of geographic data – that can assist with problem solving and inform decision-making.... Read more
Content type: Abstract
This paper describes a new expectation-based scan statistic that is robust to outliers (individual anomalies at the store level that are not indicative of outbreaks). We apply this method to prospective monitoring of over-the-counter (OTC) drug sales data, and demonstrate that the robust... Read more
Content type: Abstract
This paper describes the spatial pattern of New York City (NYC) heat-related emergency medical services (EMS) ambulance dispatches and emergency department visits (ED) and explores how this information can be used in planning for and response to heat-related health events.
Content type: Abstract
The ability to rapidly detect any substantial change in disease incidence is of critical importance to facilitate timely public health response and, consequently, to reduce undue morbidity and mortality. Unlike testing methods (1, 2), modeling for spatio-temporal disease surveillance is... Read more
Content type: Abstract
To develop a spatially accurate biosurveillance synthetic data generator for the testing, evaluation, and comparison of new outbreak detection techniques.
Content type: Abstract
LAC hosted the 2015 Special Olympics (SO) which welcomed approximately 6,500 athletes from 165 countries, as well as 30,000 volunteers and 500,000 spectators from July 25 to August 2, 2015. International athletes were not required to show proof of vaccinations and were housed in dormitories for... Read more
Content type: Abstract
To propose a new spatial scan statistic that has higher ability of pinpointing the true cluster.
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 detect unusual clusters. In hospital... Read more
Content type: Abstract
Ordering-based approaches [1,2] and quadtrees [3] have been introduced recently to detect multiple spatial clusters in point event datasets. The Autonomous Leaves Graph (ALG) [4] is an efficient graph-based data structure to handle the communication of cells in discrete domains. This adaptive... Read more
