The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-Based Epidemics (ESSENCE) is a secure web-based tool that enables health care practitioners to monitor indicators public importance detection and tracking disease outbreaks, consequences severe weather, other events concern. ESSENCE concept began in an internally funded project at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, advanced with funding from State Maryland, broadened 1999 as collaboration Walter Reed...
Public health surveillance is undergoing a revolution driven by advances in the field of information technology. Many countries have experienced vast improvements collection, ingestion, analysis, visualization, and dissemination public data. Resource-limited lagged behind due to challenges technology infrastructure, resources, costs proprietary software. The Suite for Automated Global Electronic bioSurveillance (SAGES) collection modular, flexible, freely-available software tools electronic...
Abstract Background Emerging public health threats often originate in resource-limited countries. In recognition of this fact, the World Health Organization issued revised International Regulations 2005, which call for significantly increased reporting and response capabilities all signatory nations. Electronic biosurveillance systems can improve timeliness data collection, aid early detection to disease outbreaks, enhance situational awareness. Methods As components its Suite Automated...
To identify factors that may contribute to asthma morbidity, 214 households were surveyed in two Buffalo inner-city neighborhoods. Asthma was reported by 41 percent of households. Race, gender, and age head household significantly associated with prevalence a house. Caucasians Latinos had higher rate compared African Americans. All triggers more likely be present on the west than east side Buffalo. Overall, smoking, pets, humidifier, cockroaches all home. There no significant difference...
The establishment of robust biosurveillance capabilities is an important component the U.S. strategy for identifying disease outbreaks, environmental exposures and bioterrorism events. Currently, Departments Defense (DoD) Veterans Affairs (VA) perform independently. This article describes a joint VA/DoD project at North Chicago-VA Medical Center (NC-VAMC). Naval Health Clinics-Great Lakes facility physically merged with NC-VAMC beginning in 2006 full merger completed October 2010 which time...
The Ministry of Health in Samoa, partnership with the Pacific Community, successfully implemented enhanced surveillance for high-profile Third United Nations Conference on Small Island Developing States held concurrently popular local Teuila festival during a widespread chikungunya outbreak September 2014. Samoa's weekly syndromic system was expanded to 12 syndromes and 10 sentinel sites from four seven sites; included national hospital, private health clinics three service clinics. Daily...
Pohnpei State's Division of Primary Health Care implemented enhanced surveillance for early warning and detection disease to support the 8th Micronesian Games (the Games) in July 2014. The comprised 11 point-of-care sentinel sites around Pohnpei, Federated States Micronesia, collecting data daily eight syndromes using standard case definitions. Each site reported total acute care encounters, syndrome cases each syndrome. A public health response, including epidemiological investigation...

In Brief The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) implemented state and district surveillance nodes in a central aggregated node the National Capital Region (NCR). Within this network, de-identified health information is integrated with other indicator data made available to local departments for enhanced desease surveillance. Aggregated enable public practitioners observe abnormal behavior of indicators spanning jurisdictions view geographical spread outbreaks...
Present how a surveillance tool such as SAGES was used for disease mass gathering activities. Presentation will contain some visualizations that were created from the toolkit.
As a large geographically distributed company, Boeing needs integrated technologies that support, even encourage, working together across distances. foundation for together, employees need to become acquainted with one another, form communities around shared interests, develop relationships, build trust, and communicate. Social networks are important within Boeing; people use these find fill openings in projects programs. Project teams will more readily span geographic distances when social...

Most academic medical centers (AMCs) have developed mechanisms for tracking the financing of their faculty members' research and clinical activities. However, information systems managing reporting financial data often do not provide fully accurate or complete pictures accomplishments an institution its faculty. Modern technology can help AMCs integrate more extensive about faculties from many different sources; in particular, Web publishing technologies permit large numbers users to easy...
The Suite for Automated Global Electronic bioSurveillance (SAGES) is a collection of modular, flexible, open source software tools electronic disease surveillance in resource-limited settings. SAGES development, funded by the US Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, continues as we add new international collaborators.
