This work plan presents a streamlined model for small LHDs. It addresses inter-jurisdictional epidemiologic concepts of operations, Incident Command System roles, state and local responsibilities for surveillance and data collection, epidemiologic investigation procedures, and methods for data reporting and evaluation. The work plan was built from Ohio Department of Health infectious disease response plans in use. It was also informed by epidemiologic experience during exercises and real-life investigations at the county level. This tool was identified through NACCHOs Resource Portfolio Project on the CDC Public Health Preparedness Capabilities. Through this project, NACCHO worked with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) to identify, research, and validate tools, practices, and products that can assist LHDs to address challenges in meeting select PHEP capabilities.
