A hospital administrator wants to see the trends in disease burden during an 8-month period. For the nine diseases of interest, she queries her hospital’s OpenMRS instance for the disease burden for each month. Graphing the data, she discovers that the cases of influenza have decreased while the number of cases of viral meningitis have risen.
