7. CDESS Estimated Volume Approximately 850 total CDESS users More than 70,000 new cases per year – –Approximately 800 new Syphilis Serology records per year. – –Approximately 300 new Perinatal Hepatitis births tracked per year

8. Syphilis Serology Tracking Background Serology cards are manually maintained by LHDs for each patient that has been tested or treated for Syphilis since 1976 Serology cards are manually maintained by LHDs for each patient that has been tested or treated for Syphilis since 1976 These serology cards are searched manually when a potential case is identified. The history captured on the serology cards is used to accurately stage the syphilis case. These serology cards are searched manually when a potential case is identified. The history captured on the serology cards is used to accurately stage the syphilis case. A patient may have serology cards in multiple jurisdictions. A patient may have serology cards in multiple jurisdictions.

9. Syphilis Serology Tracking Module Features Creates a patient-centric electronic registry of syphilis serology records Creates a patient-centric electronic registry of syphilis serology records Stores current and historical data in a single location Stores current and historical data in a single location Allows searching across counties for more accurate staging/reporting Allows searching across counties for more accurate staging/reporting Lab and treatment data can automatically be linked to the patient’s serology record Lab and treatment data can automatically be linked to the patient’s serology record
