How Do These Tools Help in Data Collection and Management?
Advanced software aids in the systematic collection, storage, and management of epidemiological data. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and surveillance systems integrate with these tools to provide real-time data. This allows epidemiologists to track disease patterns, identify outbreaks, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions. For instance, BioSense is a national public health surveillance system that provides early detection and situational awareness.
