The CSTE State Reportable Conditions Assessment (SRCA) is an annual assessment of reporting requirements for infectious and non-infectious conditions that must be reported to public health according to a jurisdiction’s regulations or legislation. The SRCA covers all conditions defined as reportable by clinicians (health care providers), laboratories, hospitals, and other reporters. The SRCA helps fulfill CSTE’s charge to provide a complete and accurate list of reportable conditions by state and territory. Each state and territory (including the District of Columbia and New York City) is given the opportunity every year to update or enter information regarding reportable public health conditions in its jurisdiction.
To query the SRCA results, please follow the instructions below:
1. Choose the appropriate category: Infectious, Non Infectious, General or All 2. Choose the appropriate reporter: Clinician, Hospital, Laboratory, Other or All 3. Select the year of reporting information 4. Select the condition from the drop-down list that you would like to query 5. Click on the state or territory for the reporting information.
Helpful Tips: Once you have completed a query, you may add or subtract information from the query by using the drop-down boxes at the top of the page. Please note that the “Operator” field must read “Equals (Drop Down)” to operate correctly. Upon selecting additional or new information, click the “Update Results” button to generate a new table. Information may be exported to HTML, PDF, CSV, Excel, Word, XML, OpenOffice or RTF using the toolbox at the top of the page. Each column in the table can be sorted by clicking on the header.
Note: The SRCA asks for reporting requirements as of July of the given year. Any changes taking effect later in the calendar year will not be reflected until the following year’s SRCA.

Explanation of Terms: Reporters: Clinician, Hospital, Laboratory, Other
(Reporter) Authority: This column tells us if reporting for a specific disease is either Explicit (E) or Implicit (I), or if the condition is not reportable (NR).
(Reporter) Occupational: Occupational Case Reporting for that reporting entity
(Reporter) Outbreak: Outbreak Reporting for that reporting entity
Explicit: Condition is explicitly mentioned in the statutory/regulatory language for state/territory
Implicit: Condition is implicitly (“commonly”) considered to be reportable and is not specifically listed as reportable, but would be considered reportable under another reportable disease category, such as when there is any rule/law which calls for “any condition of public health importance” or uses other similar non-specific terms.
Occupational Case Reporting: Describes whether data is reported if it is work-related only or if all cases are reported.
Outbreak reporting: Indicates whether a condition is reportable only in the context of an outbreak. For example, a condition may require all cases to be reported by laboratories, but during an outbreak, clinicians may be required to report case data. For non-infectious conditions, the term outbreak refers to a cluster. Individual: Outbreaks and the cases associated with the outbreak are reportable, but individual cases are not reportable unless/until there is an outbreak
Aggregate: Outbreaks are reportable, aggregate case counts only (not individual case reports)
All Cases: All cases are reportable regardless of event.
