To enhance the effectiveness of health care, many medical institutions have started transitioning to electronic health and medical records and sharing these records between institutions. The large amount of complex and diverse data makes it difficult to identify and track relationships and trends, such as disease outbreaks, from the data points. INFERD: Information Fusion Engine for Real-Time Decision-Making is an information fusion tool that dynamically correlates and tracks event progressions. This paper presents a methodology that utilizes the efficient and flexible structure of INFERD to create social networks representing progressions of disease outbreaks. Individual symptoms are treated as features allowing multiple hypothesis being tracked and analyzed for effective and comprehensive syndromic surveillance. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
