Computer-based infectious disease surveillance systems are capable
of real-time or near real-time detection of serious illnesses and
potential bioterrorism agent exposures and represent a major step
forward in disease surveillance. Infectious Disease Informatics:
Syndromic Surveillance for Public Health and Bio-Defense is an
in-depth monograph that analyzes and evaluates the outbreak
modeling and detection capabilities of existing surveillance
systems under a unified framework, and presents the first
book-length coverage of the subject from an informatics-driven
perspective. Individual chapters consider the state of the art,
including the facilitation of data collection, sharing and
transmission; a focus on various outbreak detection methods; data
visualization and information dissemination issues; and system
assessment and other policy issues. Eight chapters then report on
several real-world case studies, summarizing and comparing eight
syndromic surveillance systems, including those that have been
adopted by many public health agencies (e.g., RODS and BioSense).
The book concludes with a discussion of critical issues and
challenges, with a look to future directions. This book is an
excellent source of current information for researchers in public
health and IT. Government public health officials and
private-sector practitioners in both public health and IT will find
the most up-to-date information available, and students from a
variety of disciplines, including public health, biostatistics,
information systems, computer science, and public administration
and policy will get a comprehensive look at the concepts,
techniques, and practices of syndromic surveillance.
