Use of Control Bar Matrix for Outbreak Detection in Syndromic Surveillance System

Description

Aberration detection methods are essential for analyzing and interpreting large quantity of nonspecific real-time data collected in syndromic surveillance system. However, the challenge lies in distinguishing true outbreak signals from a large amount of false alarm (1). The joint use of surveillance algorithms might be helpful to guide the decision making towards uncertain warning signals.

Objective

To develop and test the method of incorporating different control bars for outbreak detection in syndromic surveillance system
