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 linked below.
