  • Evaluation of Heat-related Illness Surveillance Based on Chief Complaint Data from New Jersey Hospital Emergency Rooms

    Content Type: Abstract

    The NJ syndromic surveillance system, EpiCenter, developed an algorithm to quantify HRI visits using chief complaint data. While heat advisories are released by the National Weather Service, an effective HRI algorithm could provide real-time health… read more

  • Early Detection of Influenza Activity Using Syndromic Surveillance in Missouri

    Content Type: Abstract

    Syndromic surveillance is used routinely to detect outbreaks of disease earlier than traditional methods due to its ability to automatically acquire data in near real-time. Missouri has used emergency department (ED) visits to monitor and track… read more

  • Surveillance of Heat-related Morbidity: Relation to Heat-related Excess Mortality

    Content Type: Abstract

    The impact of heat on mortality is well documented but deaths tend to lag extreme heat and mortality data is generally not available for timely surveillance during heat waves. Recently, systems for near-real time surveillance of heat illness… read more
