Patent Images
1. An event management system comprising:
- a first programmable device comprising a first input node to receive epidemiological information;
a second programmable device comprising a second input node to receive food distribution path information; and
a food event management system coupled to the first input node and to the second input node, the food event management system comprising a processor configured to compare the epidemiological information and the food distribution path information to identify one or more possible correlations and to generate an event output related to the one or more possible correlations, the food event management system comprising a containment system configured to identify a containment strategy based on the epidemiological information and a remediation system configured to identify a remediation strategy based on the epidemiological information.

Abstract
An event management system has a first input node, a second input node, and a food event management system. The first input node is adapted to receive epidemiological information. The second input node is adapted to receive food distribution path information. The food event management system is coupled to the first input node and to the second input node. The food event management system is adapted to compare the epidemiological information and the food distribution path information to identify one or more possible correlations and to generate an event output related to the one or more possible correlations.

10. A processor readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
compare epidemiological information with food distribution path information to identify one or more possible correlations; generate a user interface to display the one or more possible correlations; and identify a containment strategy and a remediation strategy based on the epidemiological information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising:
-
receiving, in a programmable device, epidemiological information related to a plurality of reported illness incidents; receiving, in the programmable device, a data file storing food distribution pathway information for each of a plurality of food distribution paths, the food distribution pathway information for each food distribution path identifying a plurality of points forming the each food distribution path; comparing the epidemiological information to the food distribution pathway information for the plurality of food distribution paths to identify a correlation and, based on the correlation, a probable contamination source, using a processor in communication with the programmable device; and generating an event output related to the correlation using a display device in communication with the processor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
