Primes¶
- Double Counting
- In public-health surveillance a patient seen at two hospitals appears as two cases unless a unique identifier deduplicates the records.
This sourceDiscusses record deduplication via unique identifiers to prevent the same patient counting as multiple cases.
- In public-health surveillance a patient seen at two hospitals appears as two cases unless a unique identifier deduplicates the records.
Mechanisms¶
- Sentinel Site Monitoring
- Sentinels are a biased sample by construction — the chosen sites can stop representing the system as it changes
This sourceWarns that surveillance representativeness can be undermined over time by systematic exclusions and changing or geographically differing reporting practices.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
