HIE is helping stop the spread of communicable diseases

The District Health Department #10 Communicable Disease and Epidemiology program monitors the occurrence of specific diseases across the ten counties in northern Michigan.
 

“When we are investigating diseases we need to have test results and the patient’s medical history and physical to determine if it is an actual case of a reportable disease. Before we started using VIPR we sometimes waited weeks before we had the necessary information and sometimes we just did not get it. We now go directly to VIPR when we get a reportable disease. It helps us determine if we need to do further investigation.”

-DHD #10 Nurse and Communicable Disease Coordinator
