A Knowledge-Based Framework for Deploying Surveillance Problem Solvers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increased concern about bioterrorism and emerging diseases is driving the development of systems for early epidemic detection. These systems have different requirements than traditional public health monitoring systems. They typically deal with larger and more diverse data sets and must use a large variety of analysis techniques to perform real-time tracking of multiple syndromes. Operationally, these systems must be able to perform rapid analysis on large data sets. A highly configurable system is also required to enable dynamic adaptation of outbreak detection algorithms to accommodate changing data streams and disease models. To meet the needs of these systems, we have developed a knowledge-based framework for deploying surveillance problem solvers. We show how we are using this architecture in a surveillance system that uses a variety of problem solvers to perform outbreak detection.

متن کاملChoosing appropriate theories for understanding hospital reporting of adverse drug events, a theoretical domains framework approach
Adverse drug events (ADEs) may cause serious injuries including death. Spontaneous reporting of ADEs plays a great role in detection and prevention of them, however, underreporting always exists. Although several interventions have been utilized to solve this problem, they are mainly based on experience and the rationale for choosing them has no theoretical base. The vast variety of behavioral ...
