• Description:
  One of the main sources of information for public health surveillance is reporting of clinical information by clinicians and laboratories. Every state and many large urban areas in the United States have laws and regulations that require clinicians and laboratories to report evidence of reportable conditions. Historically, such reporting was performed by telephone and paper reports sent through the mail. With computerized medical files and electronic reporting capabilities increasingly available, public health has moved towards widespread implementation of electronic reporting. Electronic laboratory reporting (ELR) in particular holds the promise of faster reporting with less burden on laboratories that do not need to generate paper reports. Although much progress has been made in ELR, it has proved technically challenging to bring all laboratories and health departments up to this capability. This Communications Management Plan (CMP) has been developed to help foster better communications among the many ELR stakeholders so that broader implementation of ELR can be achieved.
