Updated COVID Reporting Info

Special Information Related to COVID-19 Reporting:

  • Facilities performing their own COVID-19 testing must report positive results to DHSS unless they are reporting lab tests via the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) or the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) Informatics Messaging Services (AIMS) Platform.
  • Submitters preferring to send COVID-19 testing records in bulk via HL7 instead of using MODROP should contact the Missouri Data Exchange Team to be onboarded for bulk reporting. This e-mail account is monitored from 8AM-5PM CST Monday-Friday.
  • All entities ordering COVID-19 tests from an external laboratory should enter positive case information into MODROP/ShowMe WorldCare.

The original MODROP portal was developed in conjunction with the EpiTrax application. DHSS transitioned from EpiTrax to the ShowMe WorldCare application on August 26, 2024. A new version of MODROP is now available through ShowMe WorldCare: The Missouri Disease Reporting Online Portal (MODROP).

Active users of the earlier version of MODROP were notified of the system transition via the email address linked to their MODROP account. These users were provided with new account credentials prior to the launch of ShowMe WorldCare in August 2024. If an individual needs to utilize MODROP and has not already received this information via email, a new request for an account must be submitted.
