sentinel surveillance system

A system that collects data from a limited number of reporting sites. For example, it may only include a few hospitals within a country or state. This approach is advantageous where it is not feasible to include all reporting sites, or due to constraints of public health resources, such as in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).
