OPTIMIZING COVID-19 INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL IN CLINICAL PRACTICE - 1. REAL TIME LEARNING NETWORK AND CLINICIAN ON-CALL PROJECTIDSA HAS PROPOSED A SET OF 11 PROGRAMS AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES FOR EACH THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ADVANCE THE STRATEGIES OUTLINED WITHIN THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. THESE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK DYNAMICALLY TO HELP CDC MEET THE SHORT-, INTERMEDIATE- AND LONG-TERM OUTCOMES DESIRED FROM THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY.2. ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP PROJECTTHE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO DEVELOP AN IMPLEMENTATION BUNDLE AND CHECKLIST THAT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS COULD USE TO IMPROVE PRESCRIBING FOR RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES AT THEIR HOSPITALS DURING AND AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

STRENGTHENING NATIONAL CAPACITY FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION, PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE THROUGH CLINICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIP - STRENGTHENING NATIONAL CAPACITY FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION, PREPAREDNESS, AND RESPONSE THROUGH CLINICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIP PROJECT SUMMARY THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES SOCIETY OF AMERICA (IDSA) PROPOSES A NATIONAL INITIATIVE TO STRENGTHEN INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION, PREPAREDNESS, OUTBREAK RESPONSE, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. SINCE ITS FOUNDING MORE THAN 60 YEARS AGO, IDSA HAS SERVED AS A TRUSTED SOURCE OF CLINICAL EXPERTISE, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION, AND EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDANCE FOR THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES COMMUNITY AND HAS COLLABORATED EXTENSIVELY WITH CDC AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERS TO ADVANCE INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION, PREPAREDNESS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP, AND OUTBREAK RESPONSE. REPRESENTING MORE THAN 13,000 INFECTIOUS DISEASES PHYSICIANS, PHARMACISTS, RESEARCHERS, AND PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, IDSA WILL LEVERAGE ITS ESTABLISHED CLINICAL GUIDANCE, EDUCATION, COMMUNICATIONS, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND CLINICIAN ENGAGEMENT PLATFORMS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES AND IMPROVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM READINESS. THE PROJECT INCLUDES FOUR INTEGRATED COMPONENTS: COMPONENT 1: PROGRAM INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPACITY BUILDING WILL PROVIDE THE GOVERNANCE, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, EVALUATION, GRANTS ADMINISTRATION, AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS ALL PROJECT ACTIVITIES. COMPONENT 2: EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES WILL STRENGTHEN PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL GUIDANCE, AN ONLINE EMERGING PATHOGEN RESOURCE CENTER, WORKFORCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING, SUPPORT FOR THE EMERGING INFECTIONS NETWORK (EIN), AND PREPAREDNESS CONVENINGS THAT BRING TOGETHER CLINICIANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERS TO IMPROVE COORDINATION AND READINESS. COMPONENT 3: ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS WILL STRENGTHEN ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP CAPACITY THROUGH EXPANDED EDUCATION AND TRAINING, IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT, PEER LEARNING, MENTORSHIP, BENCHMARKING, AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES. THESE EFFORTS WILL HELP HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS ADOPT EVIDENCE-BASED STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES, IMPROVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RESILIENCE, AND SUPPORT PREVENTION OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS. COMPONENT 4: OUTBREAK AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE WILL ESTABLISH ACTIVATION-READY CAPABILITIES THAT CAN BE RAPIDLY DEPLOYED DURING INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKS AND PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES. THROUGH A REAL-TIME LEARNING NETWORK, IDSA WILL SUPPORT RAPID GUIDANCE DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION, CLINICIAN ENGAGEMENT, FRONTLINE INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, COMMUNICATIONS, AND COORDINATED INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES. EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE INCREASED DISSEMINATION AND ADOPTION OF EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDANCE AND BEST PRACTICES; IMPROVED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PREPAREDNESS AMONG HEALTHCARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS; STRENGTHENED ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP CAPACITY; ENHANCED OUTBREAK PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE CAPABILITIES; IMPROVED COORDINATION BETWEEN HEALTHCARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERS; AND INCREASED NATIONAL READINESS TO PREVENT, DETECT, AND RESPOND TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS AND PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES.
