An RSI Understanding Risk method
Surveillance protocol design
Surveillance protocol design is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Surveillance protocol design outlines how data will be systematically collected over time to monitor risk indicators, detect trends, or validate interventions. It includes sample strategy, frequency, triggers, and data management plans. Effective protocols balance cost, sensitivity, and timeliness. Poor design can lead to data gaps or misinterpretation.
More specifically
RSI supports clients in designing risk surveillance systems that are tailored, scalable, and grounded in decision needs. This includes indicator selection, threshold development, and integration with existing systems. RSI ensures that surveillance protocols are practical, scientifically valid, and usable across sectors and jurisdictions.
