Purpose

• An automated epidemiological reporting script with PDF output for settings with limited or no internet access

Overview

• Processes descriptive statistics and epidemiological trends with figure and table output
• This script is most useful for broad overview of epidemiological trends and functions as an excellent resource in settings without internet

Example Usage: provide epidemiological metrics of patient outbreaks within a resource-limited setting

Background

• I developed the first version of this code while working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during a nation-wide response. Although originally developed as an urgent need, the script served as a pilot for enhancing epidemiological surveillance for the entire national response.
