eCR Overview

Electronic case reporting (eCR) is a data exchange process that automatically generates and securely transmits case information between health care organizations’ electronic health records (EHR) systems and public health agencies. eCR has several advantages, including greatly reducing the burden of manual reporting and increasing the accuracy of case information reported.

Each year, the Healthcare/Hospital Preparedness Program sponsors a summit to advance preparedness, communication, and collaboration among community health care organizations, response partners and public health entities.

West Nile Virus

In North America West Nile Virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus infection, was first identified in the fall of 1999 in a relatively localized outbreak in New York City and neighboring counties. Since then the virus has spread dramatically across the entire continental United States and, in 2002, more than 2,000 cases of WNV human neuroinvasive disease were reported in 44 of the 48 continental states.
