Year to Date Disease by Area and Time Report

This report is also referred to as Year to Date Disease by Geographic Area and Timeframe for a Given Year.

The Year to Date Disease by Area and Time report displays a count of all cases that fall within the specified time period, geographic area, and disease information as defined by the report parameters. The information included in the report is determined by the selected display column options.

NOTE: The Disease Name #2 field is enabled only when one - and only one - disease name is selected and that disease has secondary diseases.

It is possible for a case to be excluded from the counts if a piece of geographic detail is missing. For example, if a case has a region/district (due to their being a county for the case), the case is counted in the regional/district version of the report. If the breakdown is by zip code and there is no zip code on the address, the case is excluded from the counts entirely when the report is run by zip code.

To run this report, select the Reports > Year to Date Disease by Area and Time menu link, which opens the Year to Date Disease by Geographic Area and Timeframe for a Given Year page. 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. To reset all of the options to their default values and start over, click Reset.
