Tuberculosis (TB) Project

Requirements

The Enhanced Surveillance of Tuberculosis in England & Wales has been operating since 1999, and records details of all confirmed or suspected cases of tuberculosis.

In North West region, this operates by all enhanced surveillance forms being sent directly to Health Protection Units for completion by Consultants in Communicable Disease. These completed forms are then forwarded to HPA NW RE unit where they are entered onto a centrally maintained database. The data are cleaned and audited regularly, and are submitted to HPA CDSC Colindale twice yearly to form part of the national data set.

Problems with current system:-

Any requests for TB data have to be made directly to HPA NW RE unit

Health Protection Units do not have easy access to their own data

Solution

Make TB data from year 2000 onwards available to be queried online, and also available for download to restricted users.

Avian Flu Project

Requirements

The Health Protection Agency (HPA) commissioned development work for a data capture and reporting system for Avian Flu. The system will be very important in the monitoring of Avian Flu and determining how and where it is spreading.

Solution

The solution is currently in beta testing and will be rolled out end of November. The look and feel of the system was to be similar to the successfully deployed SARS and MRSA systems. The reports from the system will feed directly through to government.
