Implementing real-time entry in epidemiology involves several steps:
Utilizing electronic health records (EHRs) that allow clinicians to enter data immediately. Employing mobile technology such as mobile apps and tablets for data collection in the field. Integrating laboratory information systems for instant reporting of test results. Using cloud-based platforms to centralize data storage and access.
These technologies need to be supported by robust data security measures to ensure patient privacy and data integrity.
