Reporting Updated Administrative Rules for Provider Reporting (R ) –

Reporting All providers should submit a report within five working days after a case or suspect case is diagnosed, treated, or detected. All laboratories should submit a report within five working days after obtaining a positive test result or a test result specified on this page.

Reporting (Cont’d)

So Who Reports to Whom? –Administrative Code requires Health Care Providers to report STDs to the Local Health Agency. " Local health agency" means a county health department, a public health services district, a tribal health unit, or a U.S. Public Health Service Indian Health Service Unit. –Administrative Code requires Local Health Agencies to report to the State STD Program.

Reporting (Cont’d) What Do We Want? –Providers report directly to their county health department –Other local health agencies receiving reports forward the report to the county health department –County health departments report to the STD Program and also to other local health agencies (i.e., tribal health units, IHS health units)

Why?----- Importance of Reporting Effective public health surveillance and disease control To ensure effective treatment and follow-up of cases Early detection and prevention To monitor disease trends over time

Why?----- Importance of Reporting To identify high risk groups To allocate resources- Racial disparity issues In February of 2009, ADHS staff developed a “missing race” letter to be sent to providers that have reported chlamydia and gonorrhea cases as required but not included the race/ethnicity. These “missing race” letters were sent to approximately 700 providers in March 2009 and we received race/ethnicity information for 1160 cases. This information was entered into central database. To develop policy and design prevention programs

Why?----- Importance of Reporting To support grant application and CDC performance measures CDC Required Performance Measures beginning with 2005 grant cycle –Medical and Lab Services (1 measure) –Partner Services (6 measures) –Surveillance and Data Management (3 Measures) –Clinical Services (4 Measures) –Syphilis Elimination - Enhanced Surveillance (1Measure) STD Program staff may call on County STD staff to request information necessary to respond to the CDC performance measures
