Evaluation of Pilot Hospitals Participating in the Indiana Public Health Emergency Surveillance System (PHESS)
نویسنده
چکیده
BACKGROUND In 2004, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) contracted with the Regenstrief Institute to build an information exchange infrastructure to support the collection of surveillance data. This pilot program involves implementation of electronic reporting in 46 of the state’s 114 emergency departments. Chief complaint data are collected and analyzed to identify clusters of disease earlier than a diagnosis can be confirmed or the disease reported to the ISDH. The system utilized the chief complaint coder CoCo to map the chief complaints into one of eight syndromes. This evaluation was completed after one-third of the pilot facilities were operational.
