Public health surveillance is the collection, investigation and distribution of
data about illness and death. This surveillance helps prevent and control disease
in Washington State. Surveillance is used to protect and improve the health of the public by:
- describing disease trends;
- identifying and controlling the sources of infection;
- educating the public and;
- preventing disease.
In Washington State, health care providers, health care facilities, laboratories, veterinarians, food
service establishments, child day care facilities, and schools are
legally required to
notify public health authorities at their local health jurisdiction of suspected or confirmed cases of
selected diseases or conditions. These are referred to as notifiable conditions.
For a complete list of notifiable conditions, see WAC 246-101.
Most of Washington State's notifiable conditions are listed below. This table
contains links to general information, reporting forms, and guidelines for investigations.
