The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) plans to initiate electronic reporting of laboratory results for blood lead levels, document environmental assessments and abatement activities, and create linkages with Department of Natural Resources lead smelter and mining site databases and with other surveillance databases. Part of the project involves capturing detailed data on the assessment of the environment and abatement activities. Once completed, this infrastructure will allow the linkage of other stand-alone surveillance databases with MOHSAIC (Missouri Health Strategic Architectures and Information Cooperative). These include information about other heavy metals, private drinking-water well results, and other required environmental conditions, cancer and birth defects registries and asthma. |
