Outbreak Response and Prevention in Healthcare Settings Resources

NACCHO, in partnership with WE Public Health and the Population Health Innovation Lab (PHIL), a program of the Public Health Institute (PHI), have developed several resources to provide Local Health Department (LHD) staff with comprehensive strategies and tools for equitable and effective outbreak response and prevention in healthcare settings.

LHD staff new in their roles will particularly benefit from the HAI/AR Staff Competency & Training Workbook which is designed to equip LHDs with the skills to prevent, respond to, and monitor Healthcare Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance (HAI/AR). This workbook offers LHDs a rich repository of relevant information, training, and resources, significantly expanding your capacity to combat HAI/AR.

The Data Utilization and Management Guide for Outbreak Prevention and Response in Healthcare Settings, Equity Framework for Outbreak Response and Prevention in Healthcare Settings guide, and Strategic Collaboration for Outbreak Response and Prevention in Healthcare Settings Guide are excellent resources for new and experienced staff alike. These three guides work together to enhance LHD understanding of data utilization, health equity frameworks, and strategic collaborations for outbreak response and prevention in healthcare settings.

On this page you will find all four resources as well as webinars that explain how to use them.
