Syndromic Surveillance for Influenzalike Illness in Ambulatory Care Setting
Conventional disease surveillance mechanisms that rely on passive reporting may be too slow and insensitive to rapidly detect a large-scale infectious disease outbreak; the reporting time from a patient’s initial symptoms to specific disease diagnosis takes days to weeks. To meet this need, new surv...
