TI  - Progress in increasing electronic reporting of laboratory results to public 
      health agencies--United States, 2013.
PG  - 797-999
AB  - Electronic reporting of laboratory results to public health agencies can improve 
      public health surveillance for reportable diseases and conditions by making 
      reporting more timely and complete. Since 2010, CDC has provided funding to 57 
      state, local, and territorial health departments through the Epidemiology and 
      Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases cooperative agreement to assist with 
      improving electronic laboratory reporting (ELR) from clinical and public health 
      laboratories to public health agencies. As part of this agreement, CDC and state 
      and large local health departments are collaborating to monitor ELR 
      implementation in the United States by developing data from each jurisdiction 
      regarding total reporting laboratories, laboratories sending ELR by disease 
      category and message format, and the number of ELR laboratory reports compared 
      with the total number of laboratory reports. At the end of July 2013, 54 of the 
      57 jurisdictions were receiving at least some laboratory reports through ELR, and 
      approximately 62% of 20 million laboratory reports were being received 
      electronically, compared with 54% in 2012. Continued progress will require 
      collaboration between clinical laboratories, laboratory information management 
      system (LIMS) vendors, and public health agencies.
