Table 4. Elements for improving crisis management of pandemic threats.

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMR)

The accurate analytics of real-time data can improve the forecasting of pandemic dynamics. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) has a high potential for real-time surveillance streams of infections and deaths related to pandemic of new viral agents similar to SARS-CoV-2

DIFFERENT PHASES OF EPIDEMIC SURVEILLANCE NEED DIFFERENT ANALYTIC TECHNIQUES AND APPROACH.

In the inter-pandemic phase, the monitoring of data streams and consequential events worldwide can avoid compounding and cascading events, such as species jumping, mutations and high diffusion of viral agents. In the containment phase, a threat of a new viral agent has to be intensely monitored, assessed, and contained with effective contact tracing systems. A real-time analytics can provide reliable estimation of critical epidemiological parameters for assessing and predicting with accuracy pandemic trend, and controlling diffusion with appropriate health policies.
