How Do Healthcare Services Support Disease Surveillance?
Disease surveillance is a key component of epidemiology, and healthcare services are at the forefront of this effort. By systematically collecting, analyzing, and interpreting health data, healthcare providers can identify outbreaks early and monitor the spread of diseases. This information is vital for initiating timely public health responses. Electronic health records (EHRs) and other digital tools have enhanced the capacity for real-time data collection and analysis.
