“…The TeleForm system allows for rapid data entry, although there may be trade-offs in terms of cost and accuracy.

Enhancing Surveillance for Hepatitis C through Public Health Informatics

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Disease surveillance for hepatitis C in the United States is limited by the occult nature of many of these infections, the large volume of cases, and limited public health resources. Through a series of discrete processes, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health modified its surveillance system in an attempt to improve timeliness and completeness of reporting and case follow-up of hepatitis C. These processes included clinician-based reporting, electronic laboratory reporting, deployment of a Web-based disease surveillance system, automated triage of pertinent data, and automated character recognition software for case-report processing. These changes have resulted in an increase in the timeliness of reporting.
