2. APHL’s Vision and Mission
A Healthier World Through Quality
Laboratory Practice
The mission of APHL is to promote the role of public
health laboratories in support of national and global
objectives, and to promote policies and programs
which assure continuous improvement in the quality of
laboratory practice
3. Core Functions of Public Health
Laboratories
Disease Prevention, Control and Surveillance
Integrated Data Management
Reference and Specialized Testing
Environmental Health and Protection
Food Safety
Lab Improvement, Regulation and Policy
Development
Emergency Response
Public Health Related Research
Training and Education
Partnerships and Communication
4. Integrated Data Management
• Serve as focal point for the accumulation, blending
and dissemination of scientific information in
support of public health programs
• Provide for a statewide disease reporting network
• Linkage to national database systems
• Public health analysis and policy decisions
• Standardization of laboratory data formats
• Serve as epidemiology resource
5. Vision Statement
“LIMS Meeting 2002”
“ A national electronic laboratory data and
information exchange network of member PHLs
working together to ensure comparability,
compatibility and interoperability of Laboratory
Information Management (LIM) systems. A state
LIM system would be integrated within the state
laboratory, would include all public health testing
and would interface with local health department,
hospitals, and private laboratories as well.”
6. LIMS 2003 Survey Facts
43 States/Territories responded (81%)
States/Territories may have multiple LIMS
running in one PH laboratory (74% of labs
are employing more than 1 system)
Respondents have had their LIMS in place
for an average of 7.63 years

16. Participation with PHDSC
Develop electronic messaging capabilities for
LIMS
Address diverse PHL programs needs including
bioterrorism, genetic diseases, environmental
quality, radiation monitoring, food safety,
newborn screening and chronic diseases.
Update and maintain coding standards specific to
laboratory nomenclature
Editor's Notes
Capture important laboratory data essential for public health analysis and decision making. Assure ability to maintain and communicate public health laboratory data related to the identification and control of disease in standardized data formats. Provide primary data to drive planning and policy decisions. Provide a statewide disease-reporting network with centralized facilities for receipt, storage, retrieval and analysis of data. Serve the data needs of state epidemiologists, other laboratories, and practitioners, to identify trends and "sentinel events" that indicate an emerging health problem Participate as a key link in national database systems to collect, monitor and analyze laboratory data ( Serve as a primary data link with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for surveillance of diseases of national and global concern
