Effective decision support is crucial for several reasons:
Timeliness: In the event of an outbreak, rapid decision-making can save lives by enabling quick interventions. Accuracy: Data-driven decisions are more likely to be accurate and effective compared to those based on intuition alone. Resource Allocation: Helps in the optimal distribution of limited resources, such as vaccines and medical personnel, to where they are most needed. Policy Formulation: Provides evidence for the development of public health policies and guidelines.
