Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office of Infectious Diseases (CDC OID). Published: 7/9/2020. Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) is the automated generation and transmission of case reports from the electronic health record (EHR) to public health agencies for review and action. eCR makes disease reporting from healthcare to public health faster and easier. It moves data securely and seamlessly—from the EHR at the point of care, to data systems at state, territorial, and local agencies. This data sharing provides a real-time picture of COVID-19 to support outbreak management. (Text)
