Abstract:

<p>MEDSIS is a statewide system hosted and supported by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) for use by local health departments for infectious disease surveillance, and for individuals and institutions responsible for reporting communicable diseases. Data includes identifiable surveillance data for Confirmed and Probable reportable cases. </p> <p>There are five datasets available for request: Non-COVID cases (2013-2023) containing 34 variables, non-COVID laboratory results (2013-2023) containing 11 variables, COVID case data (2020-2023) containing 38 variables, COVID laboratory results (2020-2023) containing 11 variables, and the MEDSIS Injury Module which contains opioid overdoses.</p> <p>The list of current conditions under surveillance can be found at: <a href="https://www.azdhs.gov/documents/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/communicable-disease-reporting/reportable-diseases-list.pdf">Reportable Diseases List</a><p/> <p>The archive of case definitions for reportable conditions going back to 2005 can be found at: <a href="https://www.azdhs.gov/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/index.php#investigations-case-definition">Case Definitions</a></p> <p>To request health data: <a href="https://rto.asu.edu/research-data-management/health-data/#adhs-data-requests">ASU Request Form</a></p>
