# Special Project -National Food Safety Data Exchange (NFSDX) Integration and ORA Partner Protal (ORAPP)

> **NIH FDA U19** · SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH · 2020 · $20,000

## Abstract

SC-DHEC PHL-NFSDX 
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC-DHEC), Public Health 
Laboratory (PHL), serves as the state public health laboratory working towards improving the quality of 
life for South Carolinians by protecting and promoting the health of the public and environment. The 
overall goal of this project is the support and development at the national level of an integrated food 
safety system. One way to accomplish this is through the use of electronic sharing of information with 
the Food and drug Administration (FDA) in real-time. Real-time data electronic data exchange will 
streamline data sharing and allow the FDA to rapidly respond and enforce regulatory compliance. As SC 
works to implement a new Laboratory Information Management system the necessary infrastructure 
will be developed and built in conjunction with the FDA. This will ensure that when the new LIMS goes 
live in the spring of 2021 that electronic messaging capabilities are established. This supports the overall 
goal of this project to support the development at the national level of an integrated food safety system.
