Rapid detection, reporting, and response to an infectious disease outbreak are
critical to prevent localized health events from emerging as pandemic threats.
Metrics to evaluate the timeliness of these critical activities, however, are
lacking. Easily understood and comparable measures for tracking progress and
encouraging investment in rapid detection, reporting, and response are sorely
needed. We propose that the timeliness of outbreak detection, reporting,
laboratory confirmation, response, and public communication should be considered
as measures for improving global health security at the national level, allowing
countries to track progress over time and inform investments in disease
surveillance.
