Regulations, Reportable Diseases
The Communicable Disease Control Program operates under the authority of the California State Department of Health Services and the California Administrative Code, Title 17, Section 2500 through 2540. Section 2500 states that in reporting to the local authority, "It shall be the duty of every physician, practitioner, dentist, coroner, every superintendent or manager of a dispensary, hospital, clinic or any other person knowing of or in attendance on a case or suspected case of any of the following diseases or conditions, to notify the local health authority immediately."
In addition, Section 2505 requires notification by clinical laboratories to the health officer of the local health jurisdiction in which the health care provider who first submitted the specimen is located. A standard type report form, Confidential Morbidity Report (CMR) has been adopted and is available by calling 925-313-6740
Physicians who need to report a suspected public health emergency should contact the Public Health division immediately at 925-313-6740; or after hours, call the sheriff's dispatch at 925-646-2441 and ask for the Health Officer On Call.
