Enhancing collective capacity of health departments to respond to outbreaks swiftly and effectively

Overview

The CORI Community of Practice (CoP) is designed to enhance the collective capacity of health departments to respond to outbreaks swiftly and effectively using modeling, analytics, and decision support tools.

Goals

  • Facilitate real-time sharing of best practices and lessons-learned for modeling, analytics and outbreak response decision-making.
  • Promote the development of an expanded network of state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments and collaborative problem-solving for complex outbreak scenarios.
  • Enhance the dissemination of resources and tools across jurisdictions.
  • Improve overall preparedness and response capabilities among participating health departments.
  • Develop a culture of continuous improvement for outbreak response by sharing lessons learned and actionable solutions.

Topics

  • Outbreak response tools (e.g., REDCap Projects, dashboards, and response template protocols, press releases, and more).
  • Modeling and analytic tools (e.g., models and analyses developed by other health departments, infectious disease modelers, etc.)
  • Decision support tools (e.g., risk assessments, guidance documents)
  • Quality improvement principles

Audience

The CoP will primarily serve epidemiologists, data analysts, outbreak response teams, emergency preparedness personnel, and decision-makers from local, state, and territorial health departments.

Session Registration

Register for our Community of Practice Summer Series below.

The Summer Series theme is tools and templates for more streamlined, standardized outbreak preparedness and response. Presentations focus on operational tools and templates, data collection, management, and analysis approaches, and click-and-go modeling tools to inform decision making.

Date

08/22

Session Information

The Minnesota Department of Health will be presenting their work with the Midwest Analytics and Disease Modeling Center (MADMC) to implement influenza cluster detection in ArcGIS and decision support tools. CORI will present results from interviews with public health experts at all levels and safety experts from other industries, such as aviation, on lessons for systematic, continuous improvement in outbreak response using high-reliability principles.
