The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Public Health and Environment Research Institutes at city/provincial level provide laboratory testing services to medical institutions for the identification of pathogens-causing infectious diseases. Off-line referral system for laboratory testing revealed the inconveniences that medical institutions referring their specimens were required to submit paper-based request forms. To improve this process, we newly established an on-line referral system in September 2017. This article provides an overview of the entire process of the system.
