Evaluation of the timeliness and completeness of communicable disease reporting: Surveillance in The Cuban Hospital, Qatar.
[typhoid]
Public
health
surveillance
systems
should
be
evaluated
periodically
,
and
should
involve
an
assessment
of
system
attributes
.
Evaluate
hospital-based
surveillance
of
communicable
diseases
using
the
elements
of
timeliness
and
data
quality
.
Descriptive
study
was
conducted
of
communicable
diseases
reported
at
The
Cuban
Hospital
,
Qatar
during
January
2012
to
December
2013
.
The
completeness
of
notifications
were
assessed
for
contact
number
,
address
,
place
of
work
,
and
date
of
symptom
onset
.
Time
between
the
symptoms
onset
and
physician
notification
,
time
between
physician
and
Supreme
Council
of
Health
notification
and
time
between
physician
notification
and
lab
confirmation
were
calculated
for
each
case
.
Percentage
of
cases
with
documented
essential
information
and
95
%
confidence
interval
(
CI
)
were
determined
.
Mean
and
standard
deviation
(
SD
)
of
time
were
calculated
.
1065
patients
were
reported
,
75
%
were
male
,
80
%
non-qataries
and
91
.
5
%
were
group
1
(
high
priority
)
diseases
.
Symptom

was
documented
in

with

Diagnostic

was

acute

2

,
chronic

165
days
and
AIDS
154
.
5
days
.
The
time
of
notification
to
the
Supreme
Council
of
Health
for
group
1
diseases
was
1
.
2
days
(
SD

.
Our
results
show
that
the
quality
of
essential
data
and
timeliness
is
not
sufficient
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
health
system
.
Additional
studies
should
focus
on
the
evaluation
of
time
delay
for
diagnosis
of
high
priority
diseases
.
