About Data Management
Investigating outbreaks in healthcare settings requires the collection and management of significant volumes of data. These data may include intake information (e.g., entity reporting, dates of interest, and basic description of the situation), healthcare facility information, public health agency information, investigation information (e.g., dates of testing and onset, case definition, numbers and characteristics of cases, investigation methods, and suspected source), on-site visits conducted, laboratory information, control measures implemented, and summary and conclusions. This page includes resources which can aid healthcare and public health personnel in the management of these data.
