Evaluation and Revision of Historical ESSENCE Syndromic Surveillance Definition Used to Identify Work-Related Emergency Department Visits
The original work-related definition performed suboptimally because keywords were not sufficiently specific. The revised definition is an improvement but requires testing in real-world scenarios. The presented methods for developing a syndromic surveillance definition are useful, not only for occupational health, but for identification of other subpopulations treated in the ED.
