Background and Discussion:

Quest Diagnostics has launched the Quest Diagnostics Dashboard which currently provides information at a local county level for sexually transmitted infections and hepatitis. OESED will participate in beta testing the dashboard which will consist of utilization of the dashboards and providing feedback to Quest Diagnostics.

 

Expected Impact:

This dashboard will allow OESED to visualize local trends for STIs and Hepatitis from a major laboratory. We will have access to real-time data which in turn reduces the typical turn-around time it usually takes for laboratory results to be reported to a local health department.

 

Alternative Options:

There is no alternative option.
