I agree with the definition. My suggestion was to make the 2 concepts you mentioned 'properties' of (any applicable) data element, instead of data elements themselves. If we are to create data elements for all conditions need to be under surveillance, we need to create 2 data elements per conditio

A disease outbreak is the occurrence of cases of disease in excess of what would normally be expected in a defined community, geographical area or season. an Outbreak is a term used in epidemiology to describe an occurrence of disease greater than would otherwise be expected at a particular time

Dear Knut and all, Very interesting discussion. I would like to share my thought also on how Sahana DMS included this. We had the concept of 'situation awareness' -which I think is a well agreed term in surveillance. When counts reach a certain level, it becomes an outbreak. So, I think we may not

Hi Bob, Will not get into the semantics here. :-| Without really knowing any details of the data , beyond what Knut has shared with us, but it certainly seems more like "Event" data than the sort of routine data which the current data entry UI is geared to. Our use case is somewhat more in the mi

Hi Alvin, It is always good to use a more diplomatic approach to define 'outbreaks' rather than using a word like 'insurgency' that is I think as you list out the words "outbreaks = outbursts" may be a perfect match. Brajesh Murari wrote: >__

Hi Knut At the risk of appearing even more ignorant, doesn't this scenario bear some resemblance to tracked-entity-event, particularly as we have moved to generalize this beyond the scope of tracked persons? Soi event 1, some time in September, is a measles "outbreak" in a district. Event 2, som

Dear DHIS2 community, looking for good ideas for a use case which is a bit unusual. We'd like to map epidemic outbreaks, and the data are very simple: Outbreak or not, in other words, Yes/No per orgunit (a province or district). Perhaps Yes Only would be best here? The tricky part is the time dim
