 DETECT Notifiable Diseases
The DETECT (Decrease Epidemiological Threats with Environmental Controls and Testing), TEST (Take Epidemiological Specimens Today), and REPORT (Rules for Every Provider and Organization to Report on Time) or DTR Notifiable Diseases awareness campaign emphasizes different disease control actions needed to reduce the impact of Alabama's reportable diseases and create a robust notifiable disease system.
DETECT Notifiable Diseases involves surveillance, investigation, and recommendations for reportable diseases. Public health surveillance is the ongoing, systematic collection (i.e., reported by providers or electronic lab systems), analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data about a health-related event to reduce morbidity and mortality and to improve health. The initiation of a public health investigation occurs when a decision is made to acquire additional data. Recommendations should be disseminated widely and actively interpreted for all appropriate audiences. Public health recommendations are given to stop the transmission and to prevent further disease in the population.
