Exploring the Role of Quest Diagnostics Corporate Data Warehouse for Timely Influenza Surveillance
Description:
A Quest Diagnostics Incorporated – CDC collaboration in 2000 pioneered exploration of test ordering data to enhance infectious diseasessurveillance1. This year’s unexpected shortage of vaccine and reports of human illness caused by avian influenza A (H5N1) in Asia2 heightened concern about influenza and focused attention on moving toward more complete, real time surveillance. We extended our previous collaboration to explore the use of the Quest Diagnostics Corporate Informatics Data Warehouse (QIDW) as a tool for surveillance of influenza.
Objective
To explore the potential of a large commercial data warehouse for influenza surveillance.
