What are the Sources of Data for Continuous Tracking?

Several sources contribute to the data used in continuous tracking:
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs provide comprehensive data on patient health status, treatments, and outcomes.
- Laboratory Reports: Diagnostic laboratories contribute data on pathogens, resistance patterns, and case confirmations.
- Registries: Disease registries collect information on specific conditions, such as cancer or HIV/AIDS.
- Surveys: Health surveys gather data on population health, behaviors, and risk factors.
- Social Media and Internet Searches: These unconventional sources can provide early signals of disease outbreaks.
