Overview

This website gives an overview of how COVID-19 sequencing metadata are transmitted to the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH) via Electronic Lab Reporting (ELR) and stored in one of Washington’s disease surveillance systems.

  • Overview gives an overview of ELR data submitted by labs to WA DOH

  • Strengths & Challenges evaluates the different reporting methods used at WA DOH for sequencing metadata

  • Data Flow describes a high-level overview of how data travel from sequencing labs to surveillance system end-users

  • WDRS explains where sequencing metadata live inside the Washington Disease Reporting System

  • DRIVE details DRIVE processing and how KOPs are assigned to messages/MIFs

  • Example Data shows the data structure of sequencing metadata submitted to WA DOH via ELR

  • Federal Guidance lists recommendations from national public health organizations around sequencing ELR’s


ELR submission dates:

  • LabCorp: September 2021
  • Quest: September 2021
  • Helix: October 2021 – February 2024
  • Aegis: February 2022 – April 2023
  • UW: January 2023
