During the

COVID-19

pandemic, CDPH and local Public Health Laboratories (PHLs) faced significant challenges due to fragmented Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), lack of standardized HL7 interfaces, and manual data entry processes. These gaps hindered specimen rerouting, slowed accessioning, and limited emergency response capabilities. To address these issues, CDPH initiated the Laboratory Data Exchange (LDX) Expansion and Improvement Project. The Laboratory Data Exchange (LDX) project aims to enhance data interoperability between public health laboratories (PHLs) and the CDPH state lab, improving the efficiency and timeliness of specimen re-routing and enhancing data quality for public health surveillance.
