Welcome!

The North Carolina Disease Event Tracking and Epidemiologic Collection Tool (NC DETECT) provides statewide early event detection and timely public health surveillance to public health officials and hospital users. NC DETECT was created by the North Carolina Division of Public Health (NC DPH) in 2004 in collaboration with the UNC Department of Emergency Medicine to address the need for early event detection and timely public health surveillance in North Carolina using a variety of secondary data sources. Authorized users are currently able to view data from emergency departments, the Carolinas Poison Center, and the Pre-hospital Medical Information System (PreMIS), as well as pilot data from the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine Laboratories, and select urgent care centers.

NC DETECT analyzes these data sources with CUSUM algorithms from the Early Aberration Reporting System (EARS), developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

NC DETECT is designed, developed and maintained by staff at the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with funding by the NC DPH. New functionality is added regularly based on end user feedback.
