The CSTE State Reportable Conditions Assessment (SRCA) assisted CSTE capture more robust information than we have collected in the past regarding each reportable condition. It is CSTE’s charge to provide a complete and accurate list of reportable conditions by state and territory. The SRCA 2008 covers reporting requirements, as defined by regulation or legislation, for all conditions defined as reportable by clinicians (health care providers), laboratories, hospitals, and other reporters.

Each state and territory (including District of Columbia and New York City) was given the opportunity to update the information regarding reportable public health conditions under state and territorial laws in November 2007 and again in October 2008.

To query the results of the 2007 or 2008 reportable condition information, 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.

 

Once you have completed the query, you may add/subtract information from the query by using the drop-down boxes.  Please note that the “Operator” field must read “Equals (Drop Down)” to operate correctly.

Upon selecting additional/new information, click the box “Update Results” to generate a new table.

Note:
Information may be exported to HTML, PDF, CSV, Excel, Word, XML, OpenOffice or RTF using the top toolbox.

Each column in the table can be sorted by clicking on the header.

The SRCA Query Results Webpage will be undergoing updates as the 2008 information is finalized.

 

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.
