Step 2: Introduction to the Study

You have just begun your fall internship at the Epiville Department of Health (DOH) and your supervisor has just asked you to investigate unusual cases of pneumonia deaths among patients in the Epiville General Hospital, a tertiary care facility. These cases were reported to the DOH through the routine reporting system. All hospitals, physicians and diagnosing laboratories are required to report cases of diseases and conditions indicative of emerging concerns in local public health to the Epiville Department of Health. These reports provide the valuable clinical and demographic data the Department needs for monitoring disease trends and public health intervention.
