Application Procedures
To request public health surveillance data, a requestor must submit a complete Missouri Data Request Submission Form. The purpose of the form is to assist the customer by providing all the information necessary in one comprehensive form and for staff to be able to adequately prepare the requested data as efficiently as possible with the least amount of back-and-forth interaction, thereby reducing the time it take to fill the request.
Requestors interested in obtaining DHSS data should first familiarize themselves with the data sets prior to requesting data (see Data and Surveillance Systems).
Please Note:
We suggest submitting a completed application at least two weeks prior to when data will be needed. Missouri Data Request Submissions Forms are reviewed on an ‘as time permits’ basis between other priority projects. The complexity of the requested data sets and the number of priority projects may impact the response time. Please plan accordingly.
Fee Schedule
To cover its staff time and material costs, the Department charges fees for data delivery according to its set schedule, and full payment is required before any files are released.
Definitions
Find definitions that outline how we securely handle, protect and release health data, defining key terms for privacy protections, data processing methods, and permitted research uses.
