Ambulatory Clinics The completion and filing of all Reportable Diseases for ambulatory care patients newly diagnosed with a Reportable Disease is the responsibility of each individual department. Reporting may be done by the physician, the Patient Services Manager, or designee.
There are several standard forms for reporting.
Connecticut Department of Public Health The YNHH microbiology laboratory does append a PD-23 to microbiology results requiring reporting. However, this does not obviate the caregiver's responsibility if the Reportable Disease is diagnosed via culture results or the Reportable Disease is strongly suspected or diagnosed clinically before the culture results are known.
For help in the reporting process, Hospital Epidemiology & Infection Control is available for assistance (8-4634).
These include:
Communicable Disease Report (PD-23)
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Report
Sexually Transmitted Disease Confidential Case Report (STD-23)
Tuberculosis Case Report (TB-86)
The forms may be obtained from:
Epidemiology Section
