Health informatics — Reference architecture for syndromic surveillance systems for infectious diseases

Scope

The document specifies a reference architecture for event-based syndromic surveillance systems for infectious diseases. The reference architecture addresses concepts, data sources, architectural components, and outputs.
From the perspective of the diagnostic process, this document covers the processes from the symptom-onset stage to the health-behaviour stage, which is prior to the healthcare-encounter stage.
Non-infectious health hazards like natural disasters, human-induced emergencies, and chronic diseases. and their associated surveillance systems are beyond the scope of this specification
