8. Eclipse Mini Report Lane County Public Health
Good morning!
This is the inaugural Syndromic Surveillance report for our “Eclipse Event”.
This morning I have logged into ESSENCE – which is an acronym for Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-Based Epidemics- and ran 12 queries that look at conditions reported at all of our local Emergency Rooms and some of the Urgent cares as well. The 12 categories are:
Total Visits, Alcohol-use, Asthma-like, Heat-related illness, Mammal bites, Motor vehicle-related injuries, Fever, Nausea/Vomiting and Diarrhea, Eye injury, Beach/Water recreation, Drowning or submersion, and a general sort of catch-all called Eclipse.
Result: There were no remarkable findings for all 12 queries, which means syndromic surveillance data for Lane County is at expected levels for all conditions surveyed, including increases due to normal seasonal variations and there are currently no findings of Public Health significance.
(That’s the report! )
