Facilities Reporting Test Results

Timely reporting of COVID-19 diagnostic test results is critical to enable NCDHHS and local health departments to track and respond to cases and outbreaks across the state. The information reported keeps the public informed via the NC COVID-19 dashboards and provides input to policymakers at all levels of government. 

Electronic reporting of results saves time, increases accuracy and is generally more complete than manual reporting. It also reduces paperwork for your staff and for public health. Complete, automated reporting of positive and negative results (including specific required fields) is mandated at both the state and federal level.
