Streamlining Disease Case Reporting in Arizona
Success StoriesThe Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) implemented a batch case creation process for Electronic Case Reporting (eCR), integrating over 7,400 records into the state’s surveillance system, MEDSIS, as of October 18, 2024. Funded by PHIG, this innovation reduces the reporting burden on healthcare providers and improves data entry efficiency, allowing quicker public health responses. The initiative enhances community health by facilitating timely interventions and better resource allocation, with plans to expand eCR to include other diseases like mpox and measles.
