Surveillance
“Continued watchfulness
over the distribution and trends of incidence,
through the systematic
collection, consolidation and evaluation of
morbidity and mortality reports and other relevant data
together with the timely and regular dissemination
to those who need to know”Source: Alexander Langmuir (1910 – 1993)

Surveillance versus Research
Surveillance Applies existing knowledge to guide health
authorities in the use of known control measures Directly relevant to monitoring and control needs
Research Pursues new knowledge from which better
control measures will result Systematic investigation, testing and evaluation,
designed to develop or contribute to knowledge

Surveillance or research needed? Reliability
– crude and inaccurate
– incomplete
– accurate denominators
Sustainability– victim of success of control
New threats– emerging infections
– bioterrorism
Timeliness Human Rights
– data protection
Surveillance – the challenges

Near patient testing Less invasive diagnostics (oral fluid, urine) New molecular typing methods Electronic patient records ‘New’ data sources Behavioural surveillance Syndromic surveillance On-line, web-based systems
– data entry– dissemination of information
New analysis methods– GIS– bio-informatics– modelling
Surveillance – the opportunities

Context– communicable disease control– epidemiology
Definition– ‘information for action’
General process– capture– analysis– dissemination
Aims Criteria to set up surveillance system
– public health importance– feasibility– difference between surveillance and research
Different steps Challenges and opportunities
