Effect of Work-related Mobility in the Simulation of Aerosol Anthrax Releases with BARD
Content Type: Abstract
An important problem in biosurveillance is the early detection and characterization of outdoor aerosol releases of B. anthracis. The Bayesian Aerosol Release Detector (BARD) is a system for simulating, detecting and characterizing such releases… read more -
Effective Use of Laboratory Data for Monitoring Population Health
Content Type: Abstract
Effective public health response to emerging infectious diseases, natural disasters, and bioterrorism requires access to real-time, accurate information on disease patterns and healthcare utilization. The ESSENCE surveillance… read more -
Efficient Large-Scale Network-Based Simulation of Disease Outbreaks
Content Type: Abstract
The effectiveness of public health interventions during a disease outbreak depends on rapid, accurate characterization of the initial outbreak and spread of the pathogen. Computer-based simulation using mathematical models… read more -

Content Type: Abstract
The Threat Agent Detection and (TADR) Network currently supports the U.S. Government’s (USG) strategy for strengthening Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) compliance through focus on disease surveillance and investigations of … read more -
Electronic medical record Support for Public health (ESP): Automated Detection and Reporting of Statutory Notifiable Diseases to Public Health Authorities
Content Type: Abstract
Clinician initiated reporting of notifiable conditions is often delayed, incomplete, and lacking in detail. We report on the deployment of Electronic medical record Support for Public health (ESP), a system we have created to automatically screen… read more -
Ellipse-Based Clustering Analysis Using a Time Series Algorithm
Content Type: Abstract
Many cities in the US and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention have deployed biosurveillance systems to monitor regional health status. Biosurveillance systems rely on algorithms that analyze data in temporal domain… read more -
Emergency Department Data Quality Best Practices
Content Type: Abstract
Data quality for syndromic surveillance extends beyond validating and evaluating syndrome results. Data aggregators and data providers can take additional steps to monitor and ensure the accuracy of the data. In North Carolina,… read more -
Emergency Department Surveillance of Alcohol-Related Violence and Injuries to Enable Event Monitoring and Management
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance has been used been used as method of surveillance for various events in recent years. For example, post September 11th, 2001 anthrax attacks in New York City, World Youth Day in Toronto 2002, Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics,… read more
