RosettaHealth Launches eCR Direct to Simplify Submission of Electronic Case Reports

New offering uses Direct Secure Messaging to streamline Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) to public health agencies

Washington, D.C. (May 18, 2023) – RosettaHealth, an innovative and secure, big health data interoperability platform, today announced that it has launched eCR Direct, a new solution that simplifies the submission of electronic case reports (eCR) to public health officials and agencies.

Using Direct Secure Messaging, eCR Direct offers secure and efficient reporting, a streamlined workflow, real-time data access, improved accuracy, as well as enhanced compliance.

eCR is the automated generation and transmission of case reports from electronic health records to public health agencies for review and action. Replacing traditional paper-based systems, it provides public health officials with real-time access to public health reports, which can help them identify and respond to outbreaks faster.

In addition, eCR Direct allows the Association of Public Health Laboratories’ (APHL) eCR Now FHIR App to be easily configured for Direct for transport. The eCR Now FHIR App was launched in 2020 to give public health officials a more detailed and real-time view of the spread of COVID-19.

“eCR Direct is committed to improving public health outcomes and patient care by providing a reliable and user-friendly reporting service to healthcare providers,” said Kevin Puscas, CTO of RosettaHealth.

Following are key benefits of eCR Direct:

  • Streamlined Reporting: eCR Direct automates the process of submitting public health reports, getting results, while also negotiating the Direct protocol.

  • Tracking and Diagnostic Reporting: The eCR reporting involves client systems, client HISP, APHL HISP, and APHL systems. This reporting quickly confirms HISP connectivity and the submission/results status, accelerating diagnostic activities.

  • Secure Reporting: eCR Direct uses HISPDirect's secure messaging technology to ensure that all patient information is kept confidential and secure during the full reporting process.

  • Cost-Effective: The cloud-based, service-level account consolidated reporting is more cost-effective through the use of a single account versus multiple accounts. This also minimizes development and operational management.
