Geographic Surveillance and Hotspot Detection for Homeland Security: Surveillance Network and Early Warning

Overview Emerging hotspots for disease or biological agents are identified by modeling events at local hospitals. A time-dependent crisis index is determined for each hospital in a network. The crisis index is used for hotspot detection by scan statistic methods. The basic components of behaviors are events, which are hospital admissions. The important attributes of admissions are the information on the admission records and how frequently admissions are occurring compared to normal, non-crisis behavior.
