Correlation between Alerts Generated from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Data Sources and Traditional Data Sources

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of electronic medical record (EMR) data sources to improve the detection performance of a syndromic surveillance system. This analysis involves examining the temporal correlation between alerts generated from the EMR data sources and alerts generated from the more traditional data sources already being used by the surveillance system.
