Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) is the automated generation and transmission of case reports from electronic health records to public health agencies for review and action.

Essentially, it reduces the burden on healthcare providers to accomplish their reporting requirements to public health and improves the timeliness and completeness of case reports at the local, state, and national levels.

According to the CDC, eCR runs behind the scenes in the EHR to automatically capture and report required information. If information entered in the EHR matches codes of interest to public health, the data necessary for a public health report are sent to the platform. If the data meets jurisdictional reporting requirements, the report is sent to the appropriate public health agencies for investigation and follow-up.

eCR is now required under the MIPS Promoting Interoperability (PI) category and in hospital and facility Promoting Interoperability Programs (PIP).

Thankfully, the RosettaHealth’s HealthBus solution supports the automated generation and transmission of case reports from electronic health records to public health agencies for review and action.

As a SaaS-based data transport platform, RosettaHealth’s HealthBus solution normalizes and transports health events and records (EHRs) at scale across a variety of organizations such as hospitals, HIEs, and urgent and acute care systems. The platform allows for health data exchange over wide geographic areas at a fraction of the cost and effort of traditional methods.
