2.1 – Project Description

Project Status: Select whether your project/activity is an entirely new project or an extension of an existing project:

☒New CIO Project/Activity ☐ CIO Existing Project/Activity (Expansion/Change of Scope)

Project Description: Provide a description of the project including a justification for the project’s bona fide need in the space below:

Identifying emerging infections, slowing the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AR), and delivering essential medical care depend on comprehensive laboratory capacity and surveillance systems to detect emerging and existing threats from within healthcare settings and in the community, as well as investing in prevention and response efforts to prevent and contain infectious disease threats at local, national and regional levels. To address these needs, CDC will support a Global AR Laboratory and Response Network and a Global Action in Healthcare Network to enhance global capacity to detect and respond to infectious disease threats. These activities are supported under the Global Healthcare Detection and Response Cooperative Agreement (Finding Opportunity Number DC-RFA-CK21-2104).

Building and supporting this public health capacity requires informatics solutions for data collection, tracking, reporting and data sharing within the networks.

Activities: Describe activities to be carried out in this project as well as their associated deliverables:

Activity 1a:

Work with CDC and network participants to assess current informatics capacities, identify critical gaps and perform requirements gathering to identify information technology solutions to support both the Global AR Laboratory and Response Network and the Global Action in Healthcare Network. As part of gap analysis, review pathogen specific networks available for global data sharing, including existing local or national data systems, global reporting or data collection systems (e.g., GLASS-AMR, GLASS-EAR, GLASS-EGASP, and PulseNet International) for potential integration of these data systems as appropriate.

Activity 1b:

Work with CDC and network participants on ensuring stakeholder engagement for informatics solutions to enhance data accuracy and reporting. Develop a strategy to address specific network or country needs through a framework of best practices and standard data elements across the participants to ensure high quality and timely data.

Ensure that workflows for laboratory testing include the capture of key data elements including unique identifiers and appropriate patient metadata.

Establish informatics infrastructure required for electronic data entry, storage, and transmission as appropriate Assist with implementation of short-term data collection and reporting solutions that can be used while more advanced data systems with informatics capabilities are being developed as needed.

Provide training for informatics workforce development as needed Communicate with funded applicants and relevant stakeholders, such as Ministries of Health, on proposed technology solutions

Activity 2:

Develop information technology solutions for collection, tracking and reporting of data within the Global AR Laboratory and Response Network, the Global Action in Healthcare Network and to CDC. The solutions will accommodate multiple, diverse incoming laboratory data streams from multiple, diverse users and pre-existing source data systems. The platforms for these networks will collect at least one of the following types of information:

Laboratory results for various antimicrobial resistant pathogens, including QC data where applicable, and necessary epidemiologic data Data describing implementation of Infection Prevention and Control Response Activities Facility Point Prevalence Survey Data COVID-19 among healthcare workers or inpatients Documentation of quality improvement plans and actions

The informatics solutions will:

Accommodate multiple languages and formats Accommodate pathogen specific data including but not limited to organism ID, phenotypic and genotypic data, and associated epidemiologic data as applicable Provide for multiple users across a network of laboratories sharing data and specimens through a testing referral network Allow for tracking and reporting of data trends including lab quality metrics such as testing volume, QC testing, and TAT Have the option for local data storage, batch reporting in csv and/ or electronic formats for sharing with local and national medical and ministry officials Implement potentially complex role-based rules for reviewing, editing, and download of records and/or variables Integrate with existing systems or be standalone; make considerations for use with existing network systems Accommodate manual entry and manual batch uploads for both laboratory and epi data, improving accuracy and completeness of reporting; and allow for automated pulls (e.g. HL7) as informatics capacity allows Generate automatic notifications for critical value notification for timely local action and network notifications Provide necessary assurances for data security and confidentiality, adhering to all local and international regulations. Procedures to ensure only permitted types of data collected, to prevent disclosure of sensitive data including PII, and to ensure only authorized and secure access of electronic data systems that conform to established data sharing agreements.
