Abstract
This paper describes the design, development and implementation of a web browser-based object-oriented risk management tool for Communicable Disease Control in the UK. The tool is designed to help rather than replace the user. It includes dynamic risk management in a multi-disciplinary environment involving many health professionals. The tool developed provides an efficient Decision Support System that could be readily integrated into a national and international information system network supporting the development and dissemination of best practice, and providing a valid incident management review and audit system as part of an evidence-based Quality Assurance programme.
