Explain what type of epidemiological data needed to collect for determining the need for an infectious disease facility for a disease outbreakList the types of evidence trainees will need to collect, such as patient data, research studies, and resource availability. Explain that this evidence is necessary to understand the scope of the problem and to evaluate potential solutions.
1. Epidemiological Data, Studies, and Metrics: Trainees will need data on infection rates, hospitalization rates, and mortality rates. They will also need to review studies on disease transmission and treatment. Metrics such as the reproduction number (R0) and case fatality rate can help them assess the severity of the outbreak.
2. Decision-Making Process: Describe a systematic process for decision making, such as identifying the problem, gathering information, generating alternatives, evaluating alternatives, and implementing a solution.
3. Your Decisions and Solutions: Finally, present the best decision and solution for the case. This could include increasing staffing, securing additional resources, or implementing new protocols.
