What to Report:

Per Oregon State Statutes, all physicians, healthcare providers, and laboratories are required to report all “reportable” diseases to DPHN. This encompasses not only lab-confirmed cases; but also all clinically suspect cases, including unconfirmed cases with pending lab results. Where no health care provider is in attendance, any individual knowing of such a case shall report in a similar manner. DPHN adheres to guidelines as set forth by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) which can be found here.

Remember: All reports should be made to the patient’s local health department. Reports on patients who are out-of-state residents can be made to the patient’s local health department or directly to the Oregon Health Authority by phone at (971) 673-1111 or fax at (971) 673-1101.
