Abstract
An informatics and epidemiological evaluation of provincial involvement in two national infectious disease surveillance systems in Thailand was performed. Business practices supporting each were gleaned through health care personnel interviews and analyses of surveillance data. Common protocols for infectious disease reporting were identified, but differences in the means and frequency of reporting were observed to exist between provinces. National adoption of common electronic reporting systems and established best practices could enhance data quality.
