The Electronic Laboratory and Disease Reporting (ELDR) Subcommittee offers a forum that supports CSTE members in their efforts to establish and maintain standards-based, electronic public health reporting feeds. The ELDR Subcommittee convenes peers from state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies, federal partners, national associations, clinical and commercial laboratories, health IT developers and vendors, and others from across the nation to address emerging topics on interoperability and electronic data exchange for all reportable conditions. The subcommittee meets monthly to facilitate information sharing in support of:  

• Electronic case reporting (eCR)

• Electronic laboratory reporting (ELR)

• Engagement in standards development supporting public health reporting

• Identifying informatics-savvy solutions to meet expanding data needs

• Identifying and strengthening ongoing efforts to improve and maintain data quality

• Strengthening partnerships with laboratories, clinical partners, and health IT vendors

The ELDR Subcommittee is supported by the Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) Workgroup, the Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) Workgroup, and the Frontline Tools Workgroup.
