Comparing SARS-CoV-2 infections in the US Military Health System and national data: opportunities for future pandemic surveillance
Temporal patterns in cases among Military Health System beneficiaries reflect cases measured nationally by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Applying a comprehensive algorithm of clinical and laboratory data from a large electronic health system, such as the Military Health System, may improve case capture during an emergent epidemic providing incidence estimates and regional impact in support of U. S. national surveillance.
