Summary

Previous work has shown that the epidemiological context of a patient's presentation can provide important information for clinicians to aid in diagnosis and treatment. With current electronic health records, it is increasingly possible to perform syndromic surveillance that is local and specific to a patient's characteristics.

The investigators have developed algorithms for syndromic surveillance for a number of conditions in which contextual information might be of use to treating clinicians. The syndromic surveillance algorithms already developed are for influenza-like-illness, whooping cough, asthma exacerbation, Group A Streptococcal pharyngitis, and gastroenteritis infection.

The investigators plan on studying these tools with a clustered randomized control cohort study evaluating how clinical decision making is affected by use of these tools by outpatient general practitioners. The goal is to incorporate these validated algorithms into a quality improvement tool which will provide point-of-care clinical decision support to clinicians
