Automated reports function through a series of steps:
1. Data Collection: Data is gathered from multiple sources such as hospitals, laboratories, and public health databases. 2. Data Processing: The collected data is cleaned and processed to remove any inconsistencies or errors. 3. Analysis: Statistical and computational methods are applied to analyze the data. 4. Report Generation: The analyzed data is compiled into a report format, often with visual aids like graphs and charts. 5. Dissemination: The final report is distributed to relevant stakeholders such as public health officials, policymakers, and healthcare providers.
