Provision of Data

How is syndromic data best reported to users?

Topics

• The Question – How to visualise data – How to disseminate those visualisations – How to fill gaps in APHA data (touch on…)

• Highlights of the Current Process

– Submission forms – Analysis and reporting

• Vision of Some New Processes – Website – Dashboards – Discussion Forum – New Data…?....

Submission Receipt (Signs)

Investigation / Testing

Diagnosis (Syndrome)

This is our submission form. Syndromic data from signs is available

immediately, syndromic data from diagnosis may

take weeks or months

Quarterly Trend Analysis This is the sort of number crunching we do every quarter for the species

leads. It’s very retrospective. Something more current would be

good

Here’s the quarterly report – providing a

review of the quarter for each main species group

Future Vision?

This is the APHA page on the Gov.UK website., with access to the Vet Gateway

highlighted. Neither are currently very interesting

from a surveillance viewpoint

This is a mock up of a whole new Vet Gateway section - dedicated to the Diagnostic /Surveillance

Service

The pig page might look like this…

Top Diagnoses

Here’s a potential interface showing analyses available for practitioners, using our

VIDA data initially, and wider industry data later?

This shows all diagnoses for all species

Note that some counties are

missing – this will soon be fixed

The user can select from picklists to see a tailored list of most common diagnoses

Selected PIGS

Now it’s ADULT PIGS

We’ve selected SYSTEMIC & MISC, and Quarter 1

Trends in Clinical Signs

profile of clinical signs for APHA submissions

For ADULTS there’s less diarrhoea, more reproductive disease (no surprise..)

For post-weaned the issues are diarrhoea, respiratory and found dead….

For pre-weaned it’s Diarrhoea and Found Dead

Correlation of Syndrome

&Sign

This counts submissions by Sign and Syndrome It’s interesting to see how submissions with particular clinical signs (Y axis) end

up in different syndromes on diagnoses (X axis)

We envisage you’d be able to see what types of submission and diagnoses make up the

figures in each cell

Clinical Presentation of: PCVD (Porcine Circovirus) Shows how some diseases can change in presentation over time – PCDV started as

a disease of wasting, but less so now.

This is a potential vision for how data in the APHA databases could be

combined with industry data to create a more complete picture for

surveillance, available in the cloud

We envisage an open discussion forum where

industry and government can discuss what they see in the dashboards, or out on farms

An example of a discussion forum hosted on SharePoint in the cloud – one of many

potential options.
