Comparing Syndromic Surveillances using Two Aspects: Emergency and Telehealth Data Sources
Content Type: Abstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the utility of Emergency Department and Telehealth data for Syndromic Surveillance. This works attempts to minimize false outbreak detection. It also demonstrates that these two data sources contain… read more… Artificial Neural Networks [1]. This work will compare back propagation (BP) and the support vector machine (SVM). … -
Comparison of Aberration Detection Algorithms for Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
This paper describes a study of various aberration detection algorithms currently used in syndromic surveillance and one based on artificial neural networks developed at Guelph. The goal of the research is not to select one ìwinningî algorithm but… read more… weightings. The neural network used in this testing is a back- propagation trained feed-forward perceptron network. … -
Influenza surveillance using inpatient health information exchange data
Content Type: Abstract
During the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) temporarily made lab-confirmed influenza hospitalizations and deaths reportable. As reporting influenza hospitalizations is resource intensive for hospitals,… read more… timely source of hospitalization information. Despite a lack of com- plete overlap between records reported through … -
The Utility of Patient Chief Complaint and ICD 9 Classifiers for the Influenza Sub-Syndrome
Content Type: Abstract
In order to detect influenza outbreaks, the New York State Department of Health emergency department (ED) syndromic surveillance system uses patients’ chief complaint (CC) to assign visits to respiratory and fever syndromes… read more… be improved, but much of the misclassification was due to lack of information in the CC and ICD9. Even after … -
