From signals to action: Where infectious disease risk assessment can fail—and how to bridge the gaps (IMAGE)
Caption
The pathway extends from signal detection and verification through risk assessment to decision-making and response. Failures may arise from delayed verification, poor characterization of risk, weak linkage to action, or insufficient operational readiness. Corresponding measures include rapid verification, decision-ready and context-sensitive assessment, predefined action triggers, and tested response capacity. Timely data sharing and clear responsibilities support the pathway, while updated evidence feeds back into reassessment and adjustment of response.
