CORI Community of Practice

Key goals include:  

• 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.  

• 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   

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