BACKGROUND: Health Department The State of North Carolina's Department of Health recently modified the laboratory requirements for county health departments. The State now requires that all ordering and obtaining of lab results be conducted through an on-line, software system. To assist with this requirement, the Health Department will be reimbursed up to $3,000 for computer and printer upgrades/replacements in its two labs in order to access the State lab system. The Orange County Health Department will require one computer upgrade and two printer replacements to address this mandate; the estimated cost of these items is $2,800. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See attachment 1, column #1). Department on Aging 2.
