Overdue Outbreak Detection System Leaves Patchwork Defense
The U.S. should have had a nationwide network to monitor for the next viral outbreak or biological threat a decade ago. It still doesn't. Instead, public health leaders make do with a patchwork system while waiting for the Department of Health and Human Services races to get its integrated network in service by a new 2023 congressional deadline. Until that nationwide monitoring system is in place, the U.S. runs the risk that a biological threat like a disease outbreak will take hold before it's noticed. "The risk is that we don't have the level of surveillance that we need. The risk is that there are things basically flying under the radar," said Helen Boucher, an infectious diseases clinician at Tufts Medical Center in Boston and director of the university's Center for Integrated Management of Antimicrobial Resistance.

PraediGene
PraediGene is a laboratory workflow tool developed by Bitscopic and designed to allow users to electronically enter and track various medical lab tests. In addition to these core capabilities, PraediGene contains advanced computational biology features and interfaces with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Once work items are entered, they are immediately available to all users for tracking, DNA analysis (when applicable), report generation, and generic workflow activities. PraediGene has the ability to associate and retrieve patient information directly from EHR systems. The DNA analysis features automatically predict and report resistance mutations given the organism’s genetic sequence. To ease reporting and transcription requirements, PraediGene is also able to generate “EHR friendly” input.
