STD and HIV Data May Now Be Reported Using CHESS

We are happy to announce that our external providers can now enter STD and HIV data into CHESS.  We know how many of you have been hoping that this feature would be available soon. Please let us know if you have any problems entering these records into CHESS.

Remember that IMMEDIATELY and URGENTLY reportable diseases still require a phone call to your local health department.  For the STDs, this includes primary, secondary and congenital Syphilis.

 

MRSA Reporting through CHESS

Having a hard time reporting MRSA using CHESS?

The procedure for entering MRSA lab reports into CHESS is slightly more complex than that for entering most other lab reports.  While you can always add multiple lab results for a lab report, for MRSA reports you will also need to add multiple susceptibilities for each lab result.

Take a look in the January 2008 CHESS Club Newsletter (pdf), for complete instructions.
