Problem Statement
Problems with the Procedure and THL’s Infectious Diseases Register
![Page 7: Monitoring the Spreading of Infectious Diseases in Finland](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060116/55841b86d8b42aa4398b4c82/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problems with the Procedure and THL’s Infectious Diseases Register • No forecast • A series of analyses
needs to be performed • Data
– Not accurate enough – HTML tables – Not linked – Reporting lag of two
weeks
Not useful for laboratory personnel, doctors, patients, etc.
