1. To develop a reliable online notification system based on the “Notifikasi Penyakit Berjangkit yang Perlu Dilaporkan” or health 1 Rev form from Ministry of Health Malaysia known as RENS 2. To determine the usefulness of RENS in terms of mean days of notification done and the time of first contact tracing done 3. To determine the characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases managed in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) from January 2009 to December 2009 using RENS DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS

 Type : Cross-sectional study  Study duration : January 2009 – December 2009  Software Development : ▪ Source : Open Source ▪ Model : based on ‘Notifikasi Penyakit Berjangkit yang Perlu Dilaporkan” form developed by Ministry of Health Malaysia ▪ Data : web-based and client-based ▪ Prototype : will be known as “Rapid Epidemiological Notification System” or “RENS” ▪ Fields : fields or variables DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS

 Source of data ▪ Records of patients from Unit Rekod admitted during study duration  Inclusion criteria ▪ All patients diagnosed with notifiable infectious diseases based on on ‘Notifikasi Penyakit Berjangkit yang Perlu Dilaporkan” form developed by Ministry of Health Malaysia in HUSM ▪ All patients diagnosed with notifiable infectious diseases based on on ‘Notifikasi Penyakit Berjangkit yang Perlu Dilaporkan” form developed by Ministry of Health Malaysia refered to HUSM DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS

 Statistics ▪ Data entry : “Rapid Epidemiological Notification System” or “RENS” ▪ Data transfer : data need to be transferred automatically from RENS to statistical software such as SPSS or Stata using text-based format ▪ Data analysis: ▪ Descritptive ▪ Inferential DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS

1. RENS provide a minimum error of notification 2. RENS will replace the manual notification system 3. RENS will enable epidemiologist and ID physicians to have almost real time data of possible outbreak 4. RENS will enhance emergency preparedness in dealing with infectious diseases 5. RENS will be cheap but reliable compared to Window-based software 6. RENS can be implemented in all KKM hospitals and even in private hospitals DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS

 An software  Which is user friendly  That replaces old pen and paper method  With minimum error  That enables rapid early alert notification  Workable IT infrastructure in surveillance DR KAMARUL IMRAN MUSA : RENS
