Please input your thoughts on Diagnosis Date in the Smartsheet form. Click here for directions. Archived

  • What does this data element look like in the surveillance system? Is it a singular data element reflecting the Generic v2.0 description? Is the data element required? How is it used?
  • What source of information do you use for Diagnosis Date? Clinical and laboratory sources, or only one? 
  • If clinical, what information is considered the diagnosis? (e.g., Report from the healthcare provider to public health, provider interview, chart review and diagnosis/code, patient self-reported diagnosis) 
  • If laboratory, what date is considered the Diagnosis Date? (e.g., order/specimen collection/resulted dates, date the results were printed for reporting, date the results were received to public health) 
  • How do you reconcile conflicting information?
  • Could there be a circumstance where there is no diagnosis from a healthcare provider or laboratory?
