The Office of Infectious Disease Services (OIDS) is responsible for monitoring more than 70 infectious diseases of public health importance, and working with local health departments to control and prevent spread of those diseases. The Office maintains a registry of reportable communicable diseases; leads collaborative efforts to prevent healthcare-associated infections; provides data and statistics on selected diseases; provides information for healthcare providers and the public; promulgates rules for communicable diseases, as needed; and provides technical assistance to local health departments.

The Office also leads several electronic disease surveillance activities that connect ADHS with many other public health and healthcare partners; these include MEDSIS (a communicable disease surveillance system and reporting tool), electronic laboratory reporting, and syndromic surveillance. Surveillance and control for HIV/ AIDS, sexually-transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis are addressed separately by the Office of Disease Integration and Services.
