Description:Public health and healthcare take different, yet equally important approaches to serving and protecting the nation’s health. At the foundation of both approaches is laboratory testing, which is necessary for health departments to monitor disease in the population and identify novel threats, and for health care providers to make decisions to treat patients. The interdependency of the public and private sector testing has never been more important as seen with the response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus which causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19). These two systems must work together to provide timely and accurate testing, covering a significant portion of the US population. As is the case with novel infectious threats, prompt and quality testing is critical as it shapes treatment options, epidemiological actions such as contact tracing and influences larger public health decisions including quarantine.
