Area of Science:

  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Germany established the SurvNet@RKI electronic reporting system in 2001 for notifiable infectious diseases.
  • The system is utilized nationwide by local, state, and national health departments.
  • It manages a complex, distributed database for disease surveillance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design, implementation, and performance of the SurvNet@RKI system.
  • To highlight its success in a federal structure and its potential for international use.
  • To offer recommendations for developing similar national or international surveillance systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized MS Access 97 and Visual Basic with MS Access/SQL Server databases.
  • Implemented a distributed, dynamic database with version management and data quality tools.
  • Developed an integrated query interface (SurvStat@RKI) for data publication.

Main Results:

  • The system successfully handles approximately 300,000 case and 6,240 outbreak reports annually.
  • It effectively manages data within Germany's complex federal system.
  • The system is undergoing migration to C#/.NET and XML formats.

Conclusions:

  • SurvNet@RKI demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of electronic disease surveillance in a federal nation.
  • The system's architecture and features are adaptable for multinational surveillance networks.
  • Lessons learned provide valuable insights for designing future electronic health surveillance systems.
