Kansas Environmental Public Health Tracking Program
Surveillance
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) conducts blood lead surveillance for the state of Kansas. Surveillance activities are provided through a partnership with local health departments and other entities involved in the testing, reporting, monitoring and management of blood lead. Blood lead data for Kansas is compiled and made available through the Kansas Environmental Public Health Tracking Program.
Results Reporting
The results of any blood lead draw, including capillary, venous or unknown sample type on a Kansas child or adult that produces a quantifiable result and is analyzed by a CLIA-certified facility or an approved portable device is reportable to KDHE.
Elevated blood lead test results and non-elevated blood lead test results in children and adults are reportable directly to KDHE Bureau of Epidemiology and Public Health Informatics within 24 hours.
Providers can submit blood lead testing results electronically through the Blood Lead Results Reporting Web-based Portal. Results can be submitted by downloading a template to enter results into and then uploading the file back up to the application portal or by adding individuals records directly into the application. Instructions for use are provided on the main page of the portal application. Providers must set up an account with a password before using the application.
