Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) for Reportable Labs
Electronic Submission via Interface
Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) is the automated reporting of communicable diseases to the Kentucky Department for Public Health, in accordance with 902 KAR 2:020 and the Amended Table of Reportable Diseases and Conditions in Kentucky. The benefits of ELR include improved timeliness of reports and reduction of manual errors.
The Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE) has been working steadfastly to keep pace with the evolving requirements set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the lab reporting requirements for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We acted quickly to implement solutions to ensure that electronic lab reporting (ELR) feeds through KHIE would meet those requirements.
The approved LOINC List for NEDSS should be referenced and adopted to ensure compliance.
