Understanding and Comparing Patterns of Communication in H1N1: Applying Social Network Analysis (original) (raw)

2009

Abstract

North Carolina’s public health system is a complex structure of organizations, offi ces, sources and destinations of information, and data repositories. Public health emergency preparedness requires the maintenance of situational awareness, coordination of information discovery, and dissemination among system components. To maintain preparedness, successful communication is a key element; failure to effectively communicate may result in a variety of problems, including delayed notifi cation or dissemination of false positive alerts. This case study applies social network analysis (SNA) in an investigation of communications during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak in North Carolina.
