Disease by Geographic Area Report

This report is also referred to as Table of Diseases by Geographic Area.

The Disease by Area report displays count information for all diseases that fall within the selected time period and geographic area defined by the report parameters. The count or rate information can be displayed by geographic boundaries and areas. The report can also be run based on facility type or facility ID.

Enter the report parameter options and click View HTML Report, View PDF Report, or View CSV Report, depending on the file format in which you want to review the report.
