4 #1 issue =Heat-related illness. A rehydration ward was established on-site (300 beds) and most cases were managed on-site. Detected early onset of cases and initiated a rapid and successful response. Lines of communication and collaboration between emergency medical services and volunteer medical staff on-site had been established beforehand. Surge capacity was planned for and volunteers on standby were brought in when required.
5 Toronto SARS Concert 2003
6 Detect clusters of syndromes: Influenza like illness (ILI) and other respiratory illnesses Gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses These illnesses would be beyond what would normally be expected in the population for a similar period of time.
7 Traditional surveillance which includes clinical diagnosis is neither complete nor timely enough to allow for the most effective public health intervention efforts. For example, most individuals with symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) often do not present for medical care, and thus are not eligible for laboratory testing or clinician diagnosis.
8 Syndromic surveillance uses existing healthrelated data that are independent of a confirmed diagnosis and signals for further public health response. These data also capture individual behaviours that occur following the onset of disease symptoms such as absences from school or work. PIDAC
9 Specificity Sensitivity
10 Many public health jurisdictions have begun monitoring a variety of syndromic surveillance data sources in the past decade
11
12 Absenteeism (employee; school) Pharmacy sales (over the counter and prescriptions) Emergency department chief complaint 911 calls and EMS data Medical record ICD codes by community health care providers On-line sources Sentinel community health care providers Tele health
13 Surveillance is the systematic, ongoing collection, collation and analysis of data with timely dissemination of information to those who require this information in order to take action. The actions usually relate to improvements in prevention or control of the condition. PIDAC - Best Practices for Surveillance of Health Care-associated Infections in Patient and Resident Populations, July 2014
14 7 to 60% Reductions in the rates of nosocomial infections following the implementation of surveillance programs. ~70% of nosocomial infections are preventable
15 Steps IX. Evaluate surveillance system Surveillance Planning Steps I. Assess the population II. Select the outcome or process for surveillance III. Use Surveillance definitions Evaluation Data Collection Steps IV. Collecting surveillance data Communication Steps VIII. Communicate and use surveillance information Interpretation Analysis Steps VII. Interpret surveillance rates Steps V. Calculate and analyze surveillance rates VI. Apply risk stratification methodology
16 What is the most risky procedure or intervention that we perform on site? What intervention has historically caused adverse outcomes such as infection? Requires readmission or a longer length of stay? Who are our partners for interventional and surgical procedures? What rates are we mandated to report?
17 ? Urinary tract infections in LTC residents with indwelling catheters? Pneumonia (in LTC) and Ventilator associated pneumonia (in acute care)? Antibiotic resistant organisms? Surgical site infections targeted procedures? Line related blood stream infections
