Description

Current version of sivirep provides functions for data wrangling and automated reports based on data from SIVIGILA, which is the official epidemiological surveillance system of Colombia, South America.

Disclaimer

The use of this package, as well as the data, generated reports, and other products derived from it, is the sole responsibility of the user. Neither the authors of the package, nor the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, nor the source of the information assume any responsibility for the results obtained or the use made of these products.

Motivation

Latin America has progressed in the quality of epidemiological notification and surveillance systems. Particularly, Colombia has improved over the years the quality and openness of its official epidemiological surveillance system, SIVIGILA. This system is regulated by Colombia’s National Institute of Health and operated by thousands of health workers at local secretaries of health, hospitals, and local notification units.

However, some challenges remain particularly at local levels in terms of timeliness and quality of epidemiological analytics and epidemiological reports. These tasks may involve a great effor of manual labor reinforced by limitations in training for data analytics, time, technology and quality of internet access in some locations.

sivirep is aimed at providing a set of customisable functions for:

  1. Downloading, pre-processing and preparing SIVIGILA data for further analysis.
  2. Producing customisable epidemiological automated reports.
  3. Getting feedback on the surveillance system to the source provider.

Potential users

  • Public health professionals and field epidemiologist users of SIVIGILA source at local levels
  • Epidemiology and public health students
  • National and international researchers and data analysts

Future versions

Future versions of sivirep may include:

  • Interaction with other data sources in Colombia
  • Other epidemiological surveillance systems in Latin America

Automated report

Currently, sivirep provides a report template called
Reporte Evento {sivirep}, which takes the following input parameters:

  • Name of the disease
  • Year
  • Country
  • Name of the department (optional)
  • Name of the municipality (optional)
  • Cache data (checkbox - optional) : choose whether the downloaded data for the event and incidence should be stored in the user’s session cache to avoid re-downloading it when generating the report again with the same inputs.

These parameters are used to download data from the SIVIGILA source.

To use the report template, you can follow these steps:
