The goal of the Epidemiology Committee is to design, develop and implement analyses using the NPDN diagnostic record data as well as other data from other sources, to detect outbreaks at the earliest stage possible, whether intentionally introduced or not. Outbreaks may be local, state, regional or national events. When possible, pathway analysis may also be conducted. The Epidemiology Committee has conducted analyses on legacy datasets to determine fields of interest. It has also identified seven types of outbreak anomalies. It is currently designing and developing the first analysis tools for detection of anomalies. The committee also has proposed an initial design for phase 2 database fields to expand the analysis capability of the NPDN. The design is under consideration by a national ad hoc subcommittee of diagnosticians, IT managers, epidemiologists, and NPDN administration that are members of NPDN.View Poster
