The CDPH Office of Surveillance is responsible for reporting morbidity to the Illinois Department of Public Health [IDPH] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]. As a provider, the expectation is to report accurate and timely information so as to ensure adequate tracking and identification of disease prevalence in high morbidity communities. This collaborative effort between the provider and the Office of Surveillance makes it possible to develop and provide recommendations that maximize disease control interventions.  

We would encourage you to sign up for the Chicago Health Alert Network [HAN] at www.chicagohan.org to receive important public health updates and alerts, such as new treatment guidelines, disease outbreak notices, etc.  

The State of Illinois Administrative Code [Title 77 § 693.30, Title 77 § 697.210, Title 77 § 690.451 & Title 77 § 690.452] mandates that health care professionals and their designee[s] report specific information to the health department regarding STI, HIV and Viral Hepatitis B & C testing, diagnosis and/or treatment.

The CDPH Office of Surveillance is responsible for reporting morbidity to the Illinois Department of Public Health [IDPH] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]. Reporting to the Office of Surveillance occurs electronically through the Illinois’ National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (I-NEDSS) or via the Chicago Health Information Management System (CHIMS). In 2021, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) Syndemic Infectious Disease Bureau, Office of Surveillance started accepting confidential syphilis, congenital syphilis, and HIV/AIDS case report forms electronically via the Chicago Health Information Management System (CHIMS) Provider Portal. In 2023, electronic reports for viral hepatitis B & C can be submitted via CHIMS. Healthcare professionals (and designees) will need to apply and be approved for a Provider Portal account via the CHIMS Provider Portal Account Application System before morbidity reports can be submitted via CHIMS. For instructions on how to submit a CHIMS Provider Portal account application, please visit https://www.chicagohan.org/diseases-and-conditions/sti.
