Prosjektbeskrivelse

The purpose is to examine usefulness and feasibility of electronically available symptom data, both for syndromic surveillance and for health care service improvements. Usefulness and feasibility will be discussed from the perspective of patients, health professionals and health care systems. The usefulness and feasibility for syndromic surveillance will focus on Norway.

Two main research questions are addressed:

  1. Whether a new surveillance system is needed for GPs and patients, and if so what is the most reliable, valid and feasible data source? We consider both data extracted from EHR-systems, and pre-consultation symptom data reported by the patient themselves.
  2. Is patients’ electronic symptom reporting feasible in healthcare service delivery, and if so what impact does such reporting have on outcomes relevant to patients, health professionals and health care systems?
