A Generic Model for Disease Outbreak Notification Systems

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: ABTRACTDisease outbreak detection, monitoring and notification systems are increasingly gaining popularity since these systems are designed to assess threats to public health and disease outbreaks are becoming increasingly common world-wide.A variety of systems are in use around the world, with coverage of national, international and global disease outbreaks.These systems use different taxonomies and classifications for the detection and prioritization of potential disease outbreaks.In this paper, we study and analyze the current disease outbreak systems.Subsequently, we extract features and functions of typical and generic disease outbreak systems.We then propose a generic model for disease outbreak notification systems.Our effort is directed towards standardizing the design process for typical disease outbreak systems.
