We conducted a retrospective review of four different types of outbreaks that recently occurred in Illinois: a restaurant-associated foodborne illness outbreak; the introduction of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS CoV) to the United States; a large rash outbreak; and a healthcare-associated cluster of New Delhi metallobeta-lactamase (NDM). For all four types of outbreaks, REDCap would have facilitated self-reporting of symptoms and exposures through the design and administration of online surveys to cases and contacts. REDCap's document upload functionality would have facilitated storage and access of lab reports for foodborne illness, MERS CoV, and NDM outbreaks. REDCap also would allow public health responders to perform long-term monitoring of symptoms and disease incidence in NDM outbreaks. In Illinois, public health agencies currently lack a secure, HIPAA-compliant outbreak management system that facilitates survey development, online data entry, data management tools such as automated exports, contact tracing, and coordination across jurisdictions.	./cache/cord-014505-8nc8uep2.txt	./txt/cord-014505-8nc8uep2.txt
