Electronic Case Reporting
Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) is the automated, real-time exchange of case report transmission from electronic health record (EHR) to public health agencies. The state of Kansas uses the HL7 electronic initial case report (eICR) standards R1.1 and R3 to support the CMS Promoting Interoperability regulations. It is these standards that we will use to eventually eliminate manual reporting requirements. In addition, KDHE will use the Association of Public Health Laboratories AIMS Reportable Condition Knowledge Management System to ensure appropriate reporting.
Provider Registration
Providers wishing to register their intent to submit eCR messages to KDHE should contact KDHE Epitrax Team and include your organization name and physical address, primary contact information, and EHR vendor name.
