We describe a veterinary syndromic surveillance system developed in Sweden based on laboratory test requests.
The system is a desktop application built using free software.
Development took 1 year. During the first year of operation, utility was demonstrated by the detection of statistically significant increases in the number of laboratory submissions. The number of false alarms was considered satisfactory in order to achieve the desired sensitivity.
Besides the demonstrated benefit for disease surveillance, the system contributed to improving data quality and communication between the diagnostic departments and the epidemiology department.
我们描述了一个在瑞典基于实验室检测请求开发的兽医综合征监测系统。
该系统是一个使用免费软件构建的桌面应用程序。
开发耗时1年。在运行的第一年,通过检测实验室提交数量的统计学显著增加证明了其实用性。为了达到期望的灵敏度,误报数量被认为是令人满意的。
除了在疾病监测方面已证明的益处外,该系统有助于提高数据质量以及诊断部门和流行病学部门之间的沟通。
