This paper describes a Bayesian network model for estimating and predicting an epicurve. Furthermore, it presents results of an experiment testing the accuracy of the predictions. -
A Bayesian Scan Statistic for Spatial Cluster Detection
Content Type: Abstract
This paper develops a new Bayesian method for cluster detection, the ìBayesian spatial scan statistic,î and compares this method to the standard (frequen-tist) scan statistic approach on the task of prospective disease surveillance. -
A Case Manager Tool for Anomaly Investigation in BioSurveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Effective anomaly detection depends on the timely, asynchronous generation of anomalies from multiple data streams using multiple algorithms. Our objective is to describe the use of a case manager tool for combining anomalies into cases, and for… read more -
A Closer Look at Developing a Statewide Emergency Department Syndromic Surveillance System in a Rural State
Content Type: Abstract
This paper describes the issues associated with the creation of a statewide emergency department syndromic surveillance system, part of the South Carolina Aberration Alerting Network (SCAAN), in a predominately rural state. -
A Community of E-Services for Syndromic Surveillance and Early Warning within the French Forces

Syndromic surveillance for early warning in military context needs a robust, scalable, flexible, ubiquitous, and interoperable surveillance system. A pilot project fulfilling these aims has been conceived as a collaboration of specialized web-… read more -
A Comparison between Syndromic Surveillance 911/EMS and Emergency Department Data
Content Type: Abstract
To examine data from 911/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and determine whether these data provide a useful addition to syndromic surveillance (SS) when used with emergency department (ED) chief complaint (CC) data. -
A Comparison of Ambulatory Care and Emergency Department Encounters as Data Sources for Detection of Clusters of Lower Gastrointestinal Illness
Content Type: Abstract
We sought to compare ambulatory care (AC) and emergency department (ED) data for the detection of clusters of lower gastrointestinal illness, using AC and ED data and AC+ED data combined, from two geographically separate health plans participating… read more -
A Comparison of Chief Complaints and Emergency Department Reports for Identifying Patients with Acute Lower Respiratory Syndrome
Content Type: Abstract
Automated syndromic surveillance systems often classify patients into syndromic categories based on free-text chief complaints. Chief complaints (CC) demonstrate low to moderate sensitivity in identifying syndromic cases. Emergency Department (ED)… read more
