The reporting requirements are outlined in the Immunization Regulation, under the Public Health Act. In Alberta, all health practitioners are required by law to report Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) to Imm/ARI. Information such as hospitalizations and ICU admissions are received through enhanced case report forms sent by Alberta Health Services (AHS).ĬOVID-19 vaccinations and AEFIs are reported to the Provincial Immunization and Adverse Reaction to Immunization (Imm/ARI) repository. Data Integration and Measurement Reporting (DIMR) database at Alberta Health Services contains up to date information on people admitted and discharged from hospital in Alberta. The Communicable Disease Reporting System (CDRS) at Alberta Health and the Communicable Disease Outbreak Management (CDOM) system at Alberta Health Services contains information on COVID-19 cases. The system contains basic information on characteristics and demographics such as age, zone and gender. The system also receives negative results for a subset of organisms such as COVID-19. The Provincial Surveillance Information system (PSI) is a laboratory surveillance system which receives positive results for all Notifiable Diseases and diseases under laboratory surveillance from Alberta Precision Labs (APL). Pre-existing conditions included are: Diabetes, Hypertension, COPD, Cancer, Dementia, Stroke, Liver cirrhosis, Cardiovascular diseases (including IHD and Congestive heart failure), Chronic kidney disease, and Immuno-deficiency.
