English Abstract A proposal for a feasibility study for infectious
disease surveillance by means of an electronic communication network is
presented in this report. Data will be derived from different participants
in a region and will be send to a Municpical Health Authority (GGD). At a
national centre, all data will be collected and aggregated information will
be distributed by electronic bulletins to the participants. In this
feasibility study, the network shall be developed for the surveillance of
three infectious disorders (influenza, hepatitis and gastro-enteritis) in
two regions. The first phase, in which development and construction of the
network takes place, will take 9 months. The actual surveillance will be
running for 12 months (second phase). Flexibility is an important feature
of the network. New participants and new disorders should be added to the
surveillance without notable difficulties.
