Disease Reporting
PLEASE REPORT ALL CLINICALLY SUSPECT,
AS WELL AS LAB-CONFIRMED, CASES OF REPORTABLE DISEASES TO THE
SEDGWICK COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
Kansas statutes require all medical providers to report the diagnoses of both clinically suspect and lab-confirmed cases of reportable diseases to the local health department (for a list of diseases and required reporting times, click here).
Disease reporting enables appropriate public health follow-up for your
patients, protects the public from further spread, helps identify outbreaks,
provides a better understanding of morbidity patterns, and may even save lives.
Additionally, HIPAA DOES NOT PROHIBIT REPORTING OF HEALTH INFORMATION TO PUBLIC
HEALTH AUTHORITIES for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease.
