Description
Infectious disease surveillance for public health is supported by the Minnesota Electronic Disease Surveillance System (MEDSS). Presently, most of infectious disease reporting occurs through non-electronic modes. MEDSS is exploring a multi-modal approach to move towards electronic exchange. Options include (1) participating in Digital Bridge initiative, (2) utilizing Minnesota-certified health information exchange, and (3) developing a short-term Minnesota-specific approach. Presently, reporting rules for first option are being authored and options 2 and 3 are being implemented.
Learning Objective: Understand approaches to electronic exchange of infectious case report data by a state public health agency.
