WEST VIRGINIA ELECTRONIC DISEASE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (WVEDSS)

ABOUT

The West Virginia Electronic Disease Surveillance System (WVEDSS) utilizes the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) framework to electronically manage and transmit communicable disease reports. The system serves healthcare providers, laboratories, hospitals, health departments and the CDC. A disease report is manually entered into the system and select users with access are able to edit and complete the report until it is ready to be sent to CDC. Use of WVEDSS is restricted to state public health users, but requests for data from the system can be made via the website's "Contact Us" form.
