Abstract

The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) developed an Electronic Disease Reporting & Management System (EDRMS) that has the capability for the rapid collection, analysis, and dissemination of suspected outbreaks including Chemical and Bio-Terrorism events. Prior to EDRMS, agencies relied on dis-jointed phone and fax reporting and rudimentary methods for data collection, dissemination, follow-up, and remuneration. The objective of this system is to allow collaborative recognition across all the hospitals and public health offices in the state of New Jersey to detect as soon as possible an epidemic occurring of a known or unknown type.
