We developed a decision support framework that can facilitate identifying data streams for use in biosurveillance systems or processes and demonstrated utility by applying the framework to the problem of evaluating data streams for use in an global infectious disease surveillance system.}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Generous, Nicholas and Margevicius, Kristen and Taylor-McCabe, Kirsten and Brown, Mac and Daniel, W.
