cord-324656-6xq5rs0u	Bellika, Johan Gustav	Propagation of program control: A tool for distributed disease surveillance	2006-04-18		.txt	text/plain	11860	655	54	PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was (1) to identify the requirements for syndromic, disease surveillance and epidemiology systems arising from events such as the SARS outbreak in March 2003, and the deliberate spread of Bacillus anthracis, or anthrax, in the US in 2001; and (2) to use these specifications as input to the construction of a system intended to meet these requirements. Such systems should avoid transferring patient identifiable data, support two-way communications and be able to define and incorporate new and unknown diseases and syndrome definitions that should be reported by the system. The EHR systems used by GPs in Norway use the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC), which is more specifically symptom-related than ICD-9 and ICD-10, making it more applicable for syndromic and disease surveillance use. The two-way communication supported by the Snow Agent system's epidemiology service makes it possible to update the computer systems that feed the disease surveillance system with new kinds of data.	./cache/cord-324656-6xq5rs0u.txt	./txt/cord-324656-6xq5rs0u.txt
