A sentinel surveillance system is used to obtain data about a particular disease that cannot be obtained through a passive system such as summarizing standard public health reports. Data collected in a well-designed sentinel system can be used to signal trends, identify outbreaks and monitor disease burden, providing a rapid, economical ...

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It has several parts: Sentinel System, [ 4 ] Postmarket Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring (PRISM) system, and Blood Safety Continuous Active Surveillance ...
Epi Info is used for analysis in medical research, and for data entry. Examples of its use for research include a study of eye conditions, [6] a study of healthcare infections [7] and a study of psychiatric morbidity. [8] Examples of papers that used Epi Info for data entry include a study on nutrition [9] and an epidemiological survey about ...
