| Summary |
"Biosurveillance: Methods and Case Studies" addresses the problems and promise of timely biosurveillance, with a particular focus on the role it must play. It describes a general concept of operations with reference information system architecture and investigates the primary assumptions that are needed to assure the success of a biosurveillance initiative. Numerous case studies focus on local, regional, and national implementation. The book also explores future innovations in biosurveillance, including advances in analytical methods, modeling, and simulation |
