The Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 441A requires reports of specified diseases, food borne illness outbreaks and extraordinary occurrences of illness be made to the Local Health Authority. The purpose of disease reporting is to recognize trends in diseases of public health importance and to intervene in outbreak or epidemic situations. The system is founded upon the clinical recognition or suspicion of these diseases by physicians, nurses, and other health professionals.

Physicians, veterinarians, dentists, chiropractors, registered nurses, directors of medical facilities, medical laboratories and blood banks are required to report. The following individuals should also report: school authorities, college administrators, directors of child care facilities, nursing homes and correctional institutions. In addition, anyone having knowledge of a case(s) of a communicable disease is required to report.
