Establishing a computerized disease surveillance network in Sichuan Province significantly improved the collection and dissemination of communicable disease information, leading to better public health outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Information management for 35 communicable diseases in Sichuan Province, China, was inefficient.
  • A need existed to enhance the collection, compilation, and dissemination of disease data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve the efficiency of communicable disease information management in Sichuan Province.
  • To establish a computerized network for disease surveillance.

Main Methods:

  • A microcomputer link was established between Chengdu and Beijing in 1987.
  • A provincial microcomputer network connecting Chengdu with 21 prefectures was implemented in 1990.

Main Results:

  • The computerized network enhanced the efficiency of disease information processes.
