title: Documenting alerts within a Web-based early event detection system.
abstract: The purpose of this poster is to describe plans for improving the functionality of the North Carolina's early event detection system by allowing users to document and track alerts within the system. This unique approach to syndromic surveillance follow up aims to improve communication among the local, regional and state level users of the system, as well as reduce investigation time and eliminate duplication of effort.
