Definition
English
:
Notification or reporting by a physician or other
health
care provider of the occurrence of specified contagious diseases such as
tuberculosis
and
HIV infections
to designated
public health
agencies. The
United States
system of reporting notifiable diseases evolved from the
Quarantine
Act of 1878, which authorized the US
Public Health
Service to collect
morbidity
data on
cholera
,
smallpox
, and
yellow fever
; each
state
in the US has its own list of notifiable diseases and depends largely on reporting by the individual
health
care provider. (From Segen,
Dictionary
of Modern
Medicine
, 1992)
