The 2002 Olympic Winter Games were held in Utah from February 8 to March 16, 2002. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the anthrax release in October 2001, the need for bioterrorism surveillance during the Games was paramount. A team of informaticists and public health specialists from Utah and Pittsburgh implemented the Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance (RODS) system in Utah for the Games in just seven weeks. The strategies and challenges of implementing such a system in such a short time are discussed. The motivation and cooperation inspired by the 2002 Olympic Winter Games were a powerful driver in overcoming the organizational issues. Over 114,000 acute care encounters were monitored between February 8 and March 31, 2002. No outbreaks of public health significance were detected. The system was implemented successfully and operational for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and remains operational today.
2002年冬季奥运会于2002年2月8日至3月16日在犹他州举行。在2001年9月11日发生恐怖袭击以及2001年10月出现炭疽病毒泄露事件之后，在奥运会期间进行生物恐怖主义监测变得至关重要。来自犹他州和匹兹堡的一组信息学家和公共卫生专家仅用了七周时间就在犹他州为奥运会实施了实时疫情与疾病监测（RODS）系统。本文讨论了在如此短的时间内实施这样一个系统的策略和挑战。2002年冬季奥运会所激发的积极性与合作精神是克服组织问题的强大动力。在2002年2月8日至3月31日期间，对超过11.4万次急性护理情况进行了监测。未检测到具有公共卫生意义的疫情爆发。该系统成功实施并在2002年冬季奥运会期间投入使用，至今仍在运行。
