Evaluating the ALERT algorithm for local outbreak onset detection in seasonal infectious disease surveillance data

2019-06-14

Abstract excerpt

Estimation of epidemic onset timing is an important component of controlling the spread of seasonal infectious dis-eases within community healthcare sites. The Above Local Elevated Respiratory Illness Threshold (ALERT) algorithm uses a threshold-based approach to suggest incidence levels that historically have indicated the transition from endemic to epidemic activity. In this paper, we present the first detailed...
