An up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of biosurveillance techniques With the worldwide awareness of bioterrorism and drug-resistant infectious diseases, the need for surveillance systems to accurately detect emerging epidemicsis essential for maintaining global safety. Responding to these issues, Disease Surveillance brings together fifteen eminent researchers in the fields of medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, and medical informatics to define the necessary elements of an effective disease surveillance program, including research, development, implementation, and operations. The surveillance systems and techniques presented in the text are designed to best utilize modern technology, manage emerging public health threats, and adapt to environmental changes. Following a historical overview detailing the need for disease surveillance systems, the text is divided into the following three parts: Part One sets forth the informatics knowledge needed to implement a disease surveillance system, including a discussion of data sources currently used in syndromic surveillance systems. Part Two provides case studies of modern disease surveillance systems, including cases that highlight implementation and operational difficulties as well as the successes experienced by health departments in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Part Three addresses practical issues concerning the evaluation of disease surveillance systems and the education of future informatics and disease surveillance practitioners. It also assesses how future technology will shape the field of disease surveillance. This book's multidisciplinary approach is ideal for public health professionals who need to understand all the facets within a disease surveillance program and implement the technology needed to support surveillance activities. An outline of the components needed for a successful disease surveillance system combined with extensive use of case studies makes this book well-suited as a textbook for public health informatics courses

Highly recommended
A very pertinent textbook for my course with relevant material. I received it through post and within time for my course
Not only did I purchase this textbook late in the course because I was on the fence about its necessity, I wish I had not purchased it all. It is a very difficult read and the pictures and diagrams are eligible. I mean seriously how can we as doctoral students develop surveillance snapshots without a reference and then this be the only book for the course? Well that was the case and this book is used in Walden University's Health Informatics and Disease Surveillance course. Skip this buy!
It arrived sooner than expected, had such a wonderful experience!!!! I would recommend this to everyone, you can track your item etc AWESOME!
I purchased the text to use for a class. Arrived on time, was cheaper than my campus bookstore, and is recommended for others who need the text for school.
