3. Developing surveillance dashboards

4. Why develop a surveillance dashboard?
Surveillance data
There are 774 LGAs * 8 diseases * 52 weeks = 321,984 reports per year
That’s a lot of data!
The data is cumbersome to organize and count
It takes a lot of effort to create graphs and table counts
Dashboard display
Organizes and transforms the data
Displays the data in different ways to gain a full understanding of severity and frequency changes in disease status by location
Provides a snapshot of the current trend of a disease as well as past trends

5. The underlying technology

6. Key Terminologies
DbRR-Database Report and Repository (Data collection and Archiving)
Infoboards-Dashboards displaying the 8 epidemic-prone diseases
Widgets-Pictorial display of data e.g. tables, maps, charts, graphs

7. Surveillance graphs and charts
NCDC Surveillance dashboard data flow
Data collected at the LGA level aggregated by state is uploaded to the DBRR database on a weekly basis
Surveillance dashboard program cleans, counts and applies business rules to generate data that can be displayed
Graphs and tables are configured on dashboards
Data transformations
DBRR weekly surveillance data
Dashboard database
Surveillance graphs and charts
(Infoveave CE)

8. NCDC Surveillance Dashboard – what data is available?
IDSR 002 (weekly surveillance data for 8 epidemic prone diseases and Public health events)
Next Steps
IDSR 003 (monthly data for 41 priority diseases) – IN PROGRESS
Individual disease outbreaks and epidemics - FUTURE
IDSR 002 Example

9. What is Infoveave Community Edition (CE)?
lnfoveave CE is a standalone business intelligence tool specifically tailored for data visualizations and data analysis.
Displays indicator data from multiple data sources
Filters or slices data across all graphs / tables on the same dashboard
Helps easy data interpretation for decision making and action.
Users can create graphs and tales that they may wish to visualize
Infoveave will work with different data sources, not collected within the tool

10. National Dashboard
Default board

11. National Dashboard Who has submitted reports in the current week
Displays Map and percentage reporting by State.

12. National dashboard What do the reporting counts look like?
Table with suspected cases, lab confirmed, death and IWE results by disease can be seen.

13. Alerts per disease – across the nation
Have any diseases surpassed their threshold (alert or epidemic)?
The alerts follow the IDSR threshold rules for each disease
Number of total cases (across the nation)
Color indicates if the disease has reach an alert or epidemic threshold in one or more LGAs

14. Diseases Specific Boards
Default boards

15. Disease specific dashboards – threshold alerts
In which states are thresholds met for a disease
What do the reporting counts look like for the disease
Coloured map – green-no threshold met, yellow-alert threshold met, red-epidemic threshold met
Summary Alert Table with suspected cases, lab confirmed, and death results filtered to display LGAs that have reached a threshold
This table shows the LGAs where an alert or epidemic threshold is reached.

16. Disease specific dashboards – cases
Which states have the most cases
What do the reporting counts look like for the disease
Quartile coloured map – the darker, the more cases
Supporting reported counts table with cases, lab confirmed, and death results

17. Disease specific dashboards – Epi curve cases over the last 6 months
Epi-curves are used to visualize historical data.
Cases by week are displayed as epi bar graph e.g. over the last 6 months.

18. Disease specific dashboards – cases, lab confirmed and death trends
How were the cases, lab confirmed and death trending over time?
Line graphs by week for up to three years

19. Dashboard page components

20. How to log into the dashboard
A user name and password has been created for you.
In a web browser (Chrome recommended) type:
Enter your login username and password

21. Overview on configuring graphs/tables

22. Measures – data you can display in graphs, tables, text button
Description
No of Submissions
Number of reports submitted
No of LGAs Submitted
Number of LGAs that submitted a report (with a maximum of 774 per reporting week)
% Submission
Percentage of LGAs that submitted a report ( = number of LGAs submitted / total number of LGAs)
Reported Count
Number of cases, lab confirmed, deaths and Identification of Worms Extracted (IWE) per reporting week
Cases
Number of suspected cases
Lab Confirmed
Number of lab confirmed cases
Deaths
Number of deaths
IWE
Number of IWE (Identification of Worms Extracted)
Alert
Number of LGAs or rolled up to a state level that had reach an alert or epidemic threshold
Case Fatality Rate
Number of deaths / cases * 100

23. Dimensions – which allow you to filter your selected measures
Description
Location: LGA, State
Filter by one or more LGAs or State
X axis display option for graphs
Time : Record week, record year, date
Filter by one or more weeks or years
X axis display option for graphs (weeks, years or date)
Disease
Filter by one or more of the 8 diseases
Category
Cases, lab confirmed, death, Identification of Worms Extracted (IWE) – only used as filter for the Report Count which includes all 4 measures as one total if not filtered
National, state or LGA alert level
Normal, alert, epidemic – only used as a filter for the Alert measure
