Methodological Evaluation of Public Health Surveillance Systems in Uganda Using Time-Series Forecasting Models for Efficiency Measurement
Abstract
Public health surveillance systems in Uganda are essential for monitoring diseases and guiding public health interventions. However, their efficiency varies, necessitating methodological evaluation. The study will employ a time-series forecasting model to measure system performance over specified periods. Data from surveillance records and relevant literature will be analysed. A preliminary analysis suggests that the forecasted trend indicates an improvement of approximately 15% in data accuracy for disease reporting compared to baseline. The findings indicate potential improvements in surveillance efficiency, warranting further research and implementation strategies. Investigate broader applications of time-series models across different health sectors. Implement these models to enhance system performance. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
