Common use of Denominator Clause in Contracts

Denominator. Total number of E. coli O157:H7 isolates for which the state performed PFGE subtyping Target: 90%. Why is this measure important? Awardees need to be able to inform local, state, and national laboratorians and epidemiologists of disease occurrences in a timely manner to determine the extent and scope of potential outbreaks and to minimize the effects of these outbreaks. Performing PFGE subtyping and submitting data results to the PulseNet electronic database in a timely manner indicates the public health laboratory’s ability to subtype specific bacteria and share results quickly. What other requirements are there for reporting measure data? Data for this performance measure will be collected by the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity cooperative agreement program (from its awardees) as well as extracted from the PulseNet national database, and shared with DSLR. PHEP awardees that allocate PHEP funding towards PFGE activities will be required to verify these data. Data from this measure, irrespective of PHEP funding, may be reported in CDC’s State-by- State Public Health Preparedness Report. What data must be reported?
