  1. Successful Alerts and Responses: Real-time Monitoring of ED Chief Complaints and Investigation of Anomalies CDC Public Health Preparedness Conference February 23, 2005 Loren Shaffer, MPH Ohio Department of Health

  2. Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance (RODS) • Developed by team at the University of Pittsburgh led by Mike Wagner, MD, PhD • Utilizes existing data (HL7 format) from hospital’s registration database • Interprets and maps free-text chief complaint into syndrome category • Interprets and maps sales of over-the-counter medication • Accessed by end user via the internet

  3. Syndromic SurveillanceData Flow Continuous Daily Emergency Department Categorize Into Syndromes Daily Totals Totals Higher Than Expected? Continuous Alert Chief Complaint and Patient Demographics In HL7 messages Review Trends Historical Models Updated monthly Valid Alert? Initiate Response

  9. Some BottomLines (Incentives) for Hospitals • Cost for RODS installation paid for by ODH with HRSA grant money • Minimal configuration time - via telephone with assistance of RODS engineers • Runs in background – No additional duties for ED or IT personnel • Data are secure and “de-identified” – patient privacy is maintained • HIPAA compliant • JCAHO Standards

  13. Example #1:Respiratory Visits • 12/24/2004 @ 14:58: alert for all Ohio • Normalized increase from 11.5% to 15%

  14. Example #1:Respiratory Visits • 12/23/2004: Severe ice storm results in massive power outages. • Stores throughout area sell out of kerosene and other supplemental heating units. • Review of chief complaints reveals carbon monoxide poisoning as culprit. • Total preliminary investigation: 10 minutes

  15. Example #2:Norwalk Virus Outbreak • January 11, 2005: Norwalk-like outbreak involving 4 staff and 7 residents of nursing home reported to State. Later confirmed via bulk stool analysis. • January 4, 2005: Disease first reported locally with nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting lasting between 12 and 48 hours.

  20. Integrating RODS Into Ohio’s Surveillance Program • Establishing intrastate user visibility • Who gets access • Area of surveillance • Data made available • Inter-state visibility • Identifying other states using • How much visibility into each other’s jurisdiction

  21. IntegrationContinued • Review and analysis • Frequency • At what level • Standardization of analysis • What to do with alerts • Who is alerted • Preliminary investigation • Documentation • Protocol for monitoring, responding, etc. 24/7
