Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) Activities Funded
This Recovery Act supplement to Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) includes three activities outlined below.
Activity A is the basic staffing and coordination to draft the State Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI) Prevention Plan and establish the state’s capacity to develop an HAI prevention program. In general, Activity A is aimed for state health departments that have little or no current activity or expertise on HAI prevention or reporting.
Activity B aims to increase facility participation in National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and use NHSN to establish baseline HAI data for the state.
Activity C aims to support prevention collaboratives in the state to undertake prevention activities or initiatives.
