Welcome to the Florida Department of Health ELR Page!
Traditionally, laboratories and health care providers had to report laboratory results for diseases or conditions of public health signifigance to public health agencies by fax. Once reports were received, public health professionals were responsible for manually entering those laboratory results into a database for review, investigation and intervention if necessary.
ELR decreases time-consuming manual processes and increases efficiency for both laboratories and public health agencies, making it the required mechanism for laboratory result reporting.
