What kind of information and diseases are reported through PA-NEDSS and how often?
Any information, including diagnosis, onset date and test results, that is currently reported to the DOH and the CDC is reported through PA-NEDSS via the Internet. Once a patient is suspected of having a condition, the patient’s suspected condition and additional details should be entered online to generate a report that can be viewed by the appropriate health department within the Commonwealth. There are a few exceptions to what can currently be reported into PA-NEDSS including animal bites and cancer.
