Epidemic Intelligence eTutorial: a tool to learn more about the detection and assessment of public health threats
08 Mar 2011 - ECDC
ECDC promotes the implementation of Epidemic Intelligence (EI) activities at EU and national level. EI can be defined as the process to detect, verify, analyse, assess and investigate public health events that may represent a threat to public health.
Providing early warning signals is a central objective of public health surveillance systems.
During the last meeting of the Competent Bodies for Threat Detection of the EU Member States held in Stockholm on the 17-18 February 2011, the ECDC Epidemic Intelligence group presented an open electronic tutorial on Epidemic Intelligence activities.
This tutorial aims to illustrate the various Epidemic Intelligence steps in a European context and highlights the role both of EU Member States and of the Centre in promoting health security at the EU level.
The tutorial has a broad target of potential users and should be considered as a training opportunity for national and international approaches to EI. It includes suggestions and material that can support in building up and improving capacities on EI principles and procedures in different working contexts.
