Search the APHL ORC for state public health laboratory resources
This powerful database allows you to conduct a targeted search after you have selected a specific Essential Service (ES), Indicator, Cross-Cutting Theme, or Keyword.
Cross-Cutting Themes were developed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health Infrastructure Pyramid, the Turning Point Performance Management Framework and Components and the National Public Health Performance Standard Program User Guide in addition to Core Functions and Capabilities of State Public Health Laboratories.
The resources available in the ORC include links to web resources as well as documents. The search results give you a list and short description of relevant resources.
Click on the "plus" symbol next to the description to display additional information about the resource. Click on the title of a resource to open the link in a new window. You can print any search results page using the "print" function in the APHL personalization bar at the top of the results page.
