Correcting for day of the week and public holiday effects: improving a national daily syndromic surveillance service for detecting public health threats

BMC Public Health, 2017
Background As service provision and patient behaviour varies by day, healthcare data used for public health surveillance can exhibit large day of the week effects. These regular effects are further complicated by the impact of public holidays.

Syndromic Surveillance: a Local Perspective [PDF]

Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2003
The promise of syndromic surveillance extends beyond early warning for bioterrorist attacks. Even if bioterrorism is first detected by an astute clinician, syndromic surveillance can help delineate the size, location, and tempo of the epidemic or provide reassurance that a large outbreak is not occurring when a single case or a small, localized cluster

Time series modeling for syndromic surveillance [PDF]

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2003
Emergency department (ED) based syndromic surveillance systems identify abnormally high visit rates that may be an early signal of a bioterrorist attack. For example, an anthrax outbreak might first be detectable as an unusual increase in the number of patients reporting to the ED with respiratory symptoms.
