Thank you for sharing about this interesting project.
It seems like people are one of challenging factors.
In my organization, the people factor is aways the most challenging issue and also the most important one.

ICD coding helper sounds very interesting and helpful.
In my point of view, it would be good to apply it with SNOMED CT that designed for clinical aspects, and then it can be mapped between two standards.

I try to adjust SIR.init to (80,20,0) and the chart look better.

What intervention(s) you are considering in your modeling?

– The intervention I would like to implement in my modeling about Leptospirosis is animal vaccination. According to U. Narkkul’s study [1] about “Human, animal, water source interactions and leptospirosis in Thailand”, there are different Human-Animal Contact Patterns and different…[Read more]
