ELRTA Snapshot
Program Overview
APHL is collaborating with CDC to offer technical assistance to public health agencies and laboratories to implement and advance electronic laboratory reporting with diverse messaging partners. ELR allows laboratories and public health agencies to exchange data using a fast and potentially more streamlined process. ELRTA enables ELR capability on a larger scale, supporting commercial labs with a HL7 lab results message in addition to public health agencies and public health laboratories. This program is providing technical assistance to many jurisdictions and more are in the pipeline.
Scope
Assistance is available to public health agencies and public health laboratories. Requests are continuously accepted via the ELR Technical Assistance Request Form. See the ELRTA Overview Page for types of assistance available. For ELRTA InterPartner Requests, see the InterPartner Technical Assistance Overview Page.
