Data exchange in epidemiology typically involves several methods:
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs facilitate the real-time sharing of patient information among healthcare providers. - Surveillance Systems: National and international surveillance systems like the CDC and WHO collect and disseminate data on disease incidence and prevalence. - Research Publications: Journals and online platforms allow researchers to share findings and insights. - Conferences and Workshops: These events provide forums for professionals to exchange ideas and collaborate on public health initiatives.
