Overview

• Leveraging Open Components Distributed
  Collaborative Tools for Public Health
  Surveillance, David Forslund, Los Alamos National
  Laboratory (www.openemed.org)
• The challenge of medical surveillance is a system
  sensitive enough to detect a disease outbreak
  very early with enough accuracy and specificity
  to enable a proper response to the threat. David
  will present the pilot deployment of a
  component-based system in Albuquerque, NM, as
  part of the National Biodefense Initiative
  (BDI). The modular, open source architecture of
  the system facilitates integration of diverse
  data sources and organizes them both for
  detection of single events and deviations from
  seasonal averages. It is built around the open
  standards of the Object Management Group, so that
  any system implementing those standards could be
  connected up easily, but this is not a
  requirement for data collection.
