The World Health Organization releases DONs (Disease Outbreak News) reports via their GAR (Global Alert & Response) page. Regular readers of this blog know I refer to them often, particularly when confirming MERS-CoV or Avian (H5N1, H7N9) cases.
Today the WHO is asking for feedback on their DON reports, by way of a short user survey which should take less than 5 minutes of your time to complete.
After answering questions regarding your location, preferred language, and the way you access the DON reports, you’ll have an opportunity to make suggestions on how they might be improved.
For my `wish list’, I pitched the idea of maintaining standardized case line listings’ and some type of patient numbering system, particularly when dealing with long-term outbreaks, like MERS-CoV and avian flu.
I would encourage my readers to take the time to give their feedback as well.
