State department of health streamlines case reporting through eCR implementation
Learn how Baker Tilly helped a state-operated department of health streamline case reporting through successfully integrating electronic case reporting (eCR) into state’s current surveillance system.
Client background
A state-run department of health that is designed to enhance the health and well-being of local patients by providing effective health and human services as well as fostering sound, sustained advances in medicine, public health and social services.
The business challenge
To better track and report on a variety of reportable conditions, allow for future growth, and gain the ability to collect additional data that would otherwise be unavailable, the state integrated electronic case reporting (eCR) system with its existing syndromic surveillance system. Although the eCR was already in use by the public health agency, the eCR-produced data was not being successfully integrated into the agency’s state-run surveillance system.
