The first is NetEpi Collection, which handles data collection and simple reporting. NetEpi Collection provides NetEpi system administrators, who do not need to possess any knowledge of computer programming, with a point-and-click interface which allows them to set up and modify case definitions and syndrome descriptions, to design and deploy data collection forms for both cases and contacts, and to establish queues for distributed case and contact follow-up and other task management. The system allows end users to record and update demographic and epidemiological details not only for potential and confirmed cases in one or more outbreaks, but also for contacts of those cases. The task management system can help manage the follow-up of contacts of cases at home or in other quarantine locations, and the follow-up of the investigation, treatment and isolation of potential cases. The system also provides simple and customisable access control facilities in order to maximise the preservation of privacy in outbreak situations.
