• Description:
  The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) held a consultation on November 12-13, 2015 to discuss comprehensive testing services in support of public health programs. The purpose of the consultation was to address the uneven access to, and support for, testing services for public health programs in the different states and territories by identifying opportunities and barriers to supporting a shared strategy for public health laboratory (PHL) service provision in the U.S. More specifically, the goals of this meeting were to:
  
  • Explore current state-directed regional networks* along with CDC program referral and tiered testing models and
  
  • Provide recommendations to improve the effectiveness and reduce the burden on all the individual states and programs working to develop their own solutions in the absence of a unified strategy for PHL service provision.
