Reporting Resources on this page:
Health Care Providers and Laboratorians
All Oregon physicians, other health care providers and laboratorians are
required by law to report
certain diseases and conditions to
local health departments (pdf). Some cases are subject to
restrictions (OAR Division 19) on school attendance, day care attendance, patient care, and food handling. Reporting enables appropriate public health follow-up for patients, helps identify outbreaks, and provides a better understanding of Oregon morbidity patterns. In 2007, the Oregon Legislative Assembly passed
HB 2524 (pdf) authorizing the Health Care Acquired Infection Advisory Committee, a statutorily mandated committee, to advise Oregon Health Policy and Research (OHPR) on the development of a health care acquired infections reporting program in Oregon.
