Abstract

Event management systems (EMS) are key tools for epidemic intelligence, integrating surveillance signals and incident response, although international standards to inform development are lacking. We describe the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) SITAware, a software capable of operating with low internet bandwidth to generate notifications, reports, and spatiotemporal dashboards and provide event-level data for real-time accountability and postevent learning. SITAware was enabled by local institutional ownership, co-created at low cost, and integrated into existing workflows. In 2022, SITAware was used to manage ≈300 incidents, and NCDC implemented it subnationally. NCDC’s experience may inform EMS development and implementation in similar settings.

公共卫生事件管理系统的开发和实施，尼日利亚，2018-2024

事件管理系统（EMS）是流行病情报、整合监测信号和事件响应的关键工具，但目前尚缺乏国际标准来指导开发工作。我们介绍了尼日利亚疾病控制和预防中心（NCDC）的 SITAware，该软件能够在互联网带宽较低的情况下运行，生成通知、报告和时空仪表板，并为实时问责和事后学习提供事件级数据。SITAware 由当地机构所有，以低成本共同创建，并集成到现有工作流程中。2022 年，SITAware 被用于管理≈300 起事件，国家数据中心在全国范围内实施了该软件。NCDC 的经验可为类似环境下的 EMS 开发和实施提供借鉴。

期刊介绍： Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination. Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
