Reports to LA County STD ProgramChlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis 2004
Reporting Issues
• Improved enforcement of reporting laws• State investigations; non-compliance can
result in loss of lab license
• Identification of non-reporters is difficult• Dual reporting requirement facilitates
identification• Annual laboratory survey identifies
laboratories with deficient reporting practices
Reporting Issues(continued)
• Heaviest burden on laboratories• Often sole reporting source• Rely on providers for patient information• Referring laboratories withhold patient /
provider information from testing facilities
• Increased interstate testing has accompanied growth of managed care & core laboratories• Reporting requirements vary by state
Annual Laboratory Survey
• Monitor compliance with reporting guidelines
• Monitor trends in test utilization & laboratory practice
• Provide information on STD testing trends and recommendations
• Inform laboratories about STD Program function
