SA Health were advised that four state-run residential agedcare facilities were on heightened alert due to an influenza outbreak. 2.	SA Health's communicable disease control branch receives notification of influenza cases from both the diagnostic laboratory and treating medical practitioners. Direct patient care is not affected by any data entry backlog. There is a sufficient representation of the data entered into the system to allow for the identification of emerging trends and the implementation of appropriate policy responses and public health interventions. 3.	Diagnostic laboratories are reporting to the communicable disease control branch in a timely manner, within three days of detecting a positive laboratory test.
