Any disease that is reportable or that involves the treatment of exposed
individuals should have these requirements included in the protocol. This is as
much a part of the treatment as doing laboratory tests or dispensing medicine:
Epidemiology
1. Strep infections are reportable weekly, by numerical totals only, to the health
department at 555-1234.
2. Household members should be screened for all patients with more than one
strep throat in two months.
