The document summarizes emergency department visit data from My Hospital in July 2014. It finds that the top chief complaints were nonspecific symptoms, pain, and abdominal complaints for adults and nonspecific symptoms, fever, and respiratory infections for children. It also shows the average number of daily ED visits by shift and day of week, with the highest volumes occurring during the 8 AM to 4 PM shift on weekdays. The document concludes by describing New York City's ED syndromic surveillance system, which analyzes chief complaint data from over 10,000 daily ED visits across the city to detect potential disease outbreaks or other public health issues.

Summary of New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Emergency Department syndromic surveillance system
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (DOHMH) emergency department (ED) syndromic surveillance system, established in 2001, serves as
an early warning system for natural or man-made events that could impact the public’s health such as disease outbreaks, natural disasters and biologic or chemical terrorism
events. DOHMH receives information on over 10,000 ED visits each day, comprising 98% of ED visits in New York City. Patient chief complaints are grouped into syndrome
categories and analyzed daily for aberrations in time and space. Statistically significant aberrations or ”signals” are investigated to determine their public health importance.
