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.

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.
