An ISDS-Based Initiative for Conventions for Biosurveillance Data Analysis Methods
Content Type: Abstract
Twelve years into the 21st century, after publication of hundreds of articles and establishment of numerous biosurveillance systems worldwide, there is no agreement among the disease surveillance community on most effective technical methods for… read more -
Localized Cluster Detection Applied to Joint and Separate Military and Veteran Subpopulations
Content Type: Abstract
The Joint VA/DoD BioSurveillance System for Emerging Biological Threats project seeks to improve situational awareness of the health of VA/DoD populations by combining their respective data. Each system uses a version of the Electronic Surveillance… read more -

Content Type: Abstract
The ISDS Research Committee (RC) is an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in various topics related to disease surveillance. The RC hosts a literature review process with a permanent repository of relevant journal articles and… read more -
Category-Specific Comparison of Univariate Alerting Methods for Biosurveillance Decision Support
Content Type: Abstract
Temporal alerting algorithms commonly used in syndromic surveillance systems are often adjusted for data features such as cyclic behavior but are subject to overfitting or misspecification errors when applied indiscriminately. In a project for the… read more -
Equine Syndromic Surveillance in Colorado Using Veterinary Laboratory Test Order Data
Content Type: Abstract
The Risk Identification Unit (RIU) of the US Dept. of Agriculture’s Center for Epidemiology and Animal Health (CEAH) conducts weekly surveillance of national livestock health data and routine coordination with agricultural stakeholders. In an… read more -
A Term-based Approach to Asyndromic Determination of Significant Case Clusters
Content Type: Abstract
Biosurveillance systems commonly depend on free-text chief complaints (CC)s for timely situational awareness. However, diagnosis codes may not be available soon enough and may have uncertain value because they are assigned for billing purposes… read more -
Coverage and Timeliness of Combined Military and Veteran Surveillance Systems
Content Type: Abstract
An objective of the Joint VA/DoD BioSurveillance System for Emerging Biological Threats project is to improve situational awareness of the health of combined VA and DoD populations. DoD and VA both use versions of the Electronic Surveillance System… read more -
