The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is the voice of the nearly 3,000 local health departments (LHDs) across the country. These city, county, metropolitan, and district health departments work to protect and improve the health of all people and all communities. NACCHO provides capacity-building resources to LHDs (e.g., trainings, webinars, access to subject matter experts, peer discussion) that support the development and implementation of public health policies and practices.

NACCHO is a founding member and a key stakeholder of the Council for Outbreak Response: Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) and Antimicrobial-Resistant (AR) Pathogens (CORHA). CORHA’s goal is to improve practices and policies at the local, state, and national levels for detection, investigation, control, and prevention of HAI/AR outbreaks across the healthcare continuum, including emerging infections and other risks with potential for healthcare transmission.

NACCHO, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, seeks to understand how to optimize the usability, style, and content of the CORHA website (https://www.corha.org/) to increase awareness and resource utilization of CORHA developed products. To that end, NACCHO is seeking a consultant to design and implement user-experience testing of the existing CORHA website and create recommendations for website improvements for the diverse CORHA stakeholders to evaluate. The consultant will work alongside NACCHO and partners to determine the best website platform to host the content within NACCHO’s existing infrastructure, then re-design, migrate, and launch the new/updated website. The assessment and website updates will be created with support from NACCHO staff and other CORHA stakeholders who will provide background information and input on needs, content and functionality that should be addressed.
