How to read and interpret public-health screening results in the Daily Ops view and Event Control Room for series event outbreak surveillance.
Screening results from series events flow into two reporting surfaces in real time - the Daily Ops view for day-level trend surveillance, and the Event Control Room for event-level operational oversight.
When public-health screening is active, every patient contact at a series event generates a screening record across three symptom categories: Respiratory, GI (gastrointestinal), and Mental Health. Those records roll up into two reporting surfaces designed for different levels of oversight:
/web/) - the big picture for a selected date: how many patients were screened across all venues, how many had positive results in each category, and whether any venue/day combination has crossed the series' outbreak detection threshold./web/event/{id}/control-room) - a live, event-specific view: total positives, jobs still awaiting screening, and a per-category breakdown with proportion bars and per-symptom detail.Together, these two surfaces give the CMO and surveillance team the data they need for day-to-day outbreak monitoring during a series.
The Ops Dashboard at /web/ includes a Screening section when series events are active on the selected date. This section summarises screening results across all venues for the day.
The rollup shows one row for each of the three screening categories - Respiratory, GI, and Mental Health. Each row shows:
At the bottom of the rollup you'll also see:

Amber rows are the normal operating state. They mean positives have been recorded but no outbreak threshold has been crossed.
Red rows mean the positive count for that category has crossed the series' cluster threshold at a single venue on the current day. A red row is your signal to investigate - it means the rate of positive results at one location is at or above the level the series defines as a potential cluster.

The threshold is applied per venue per day, not to the aggregate total. A large event with many positives spread across multiple venues won't trigger a red row unless a single venue sees a concentration of positives on a single day.
Use the date navigation on the Ops Dashboard to step through previous days. The rollup updates to reflect the selected date. This lets you track symptom trends day by day across the full series period.
The Event Control Room (/web/event/{id}/control-room) provides a real-time view of a single event. Screening data appears in two places.
At the top of the Control Room, a strip of headline figures includes a Screening +ve tile showing the total positive screens recorded for this event. This number updates live as clinicians complete screening panels and their devices sync.
If any jobs are still awaiting screening - patient present but panels not yet answered - a secondary note shows "+ N awaiting" in muted text alongside the positive count, where N is the number of incomplete jobs.

When the positive count crosses the cluster threshold, the KPI tile colour changes from amber to red as a visual alert.
Below the KPI strip, the Screening island shows a more detailed breakdown of results for the event. It can be expanded and collapsed using the button in the island header.
Each row in the island represents one screening category and shows:

If no screening data has been recorded for the event yet, the island displays: "No screening recorded yet for this event. Completed patient screens will appear here as they sync."
The cluster threshold is a series-level setting that defines when positive screening results at a single location become a potential outbreak signal. It represents the number of positive screens in a single symptom category at a single venue on a single day that warrants investigation.
For example, if the threshold is set to 5 and on Tuesday the Main Arena sees five or more Respiratory positives, the Respiratory row turns red in both the Daily Ops rollup and the Event Control Room.
A red indicator means: investigate this combination of venue, date, and symptom category. It's a prompt for CMO review and follow-up - not an automatic confirmation that an outbreak has occurred.
The aggregate positive count for the whole series can be high without triggering a red signal, provided no single venue/day combination crosses the threshold.
The Screening section isn't showing on the Daily Ops page.
Screening data only appears when there are series events with screening enabled active on the selected date. If the date you're looking at has no series events, the Screening section won't be displayed. Try selecting a date when a series event was running.
The Screening island in the Control Room is showing an error.
The island displays "Couldn't load screening - Retry" if there's a temporary data loading issue. Tap Retry to reload. If the error persists, check your network connection and refresh the page.
The awaiting screening count isn't going down.
Remaining incomplete jobs are likely from crews who are still offline, or who haven't yet completed their panels. Screening data syncs as soon as a device reconnects. If counts don't drop after crews have finished their shifts, follow up with those crews to check connectivity and confirm the panels were completed on their devices.
The positive count seems lower than expected.
Positive counts only include jobs where at least one screening panel has been answered. Jobs still awaiting screening are not counted in the positive total - they're tracked separately in the awaiting figure. If the positive count looks low, check whether the awaiting count is high, which may mean data is still syncing from offline devices.
