NACCHO, with support from the CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, established the Building Up Infection Prevention & Control in Local Departments in Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance (BUILD HAIAR) Project in 2023 to strengthen local health department (LHD) capacity for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AR) prevention and response using the CDC (Interim) Local Health Department Strategy for HAI/AR. One of our BUILD HAIAR sites, Stark County Health Department, developed a success story overview describing how they were able to engage more with their long-term care facilities (LTCFs) to conduct tele-ICARs and in-person ICARs, provide educational opportunities, and build rapport.

One of our BUILD HAIAR sites, the County of San Diego (COSD), developed a one-pager overview of their efforts to implement C. auris screenings in ventilator-capable skilled nursing facilities (vSNFs) after a persistent gap in such surveillance resulted in several outbreaks in the county. The one-pager shares more detail about how COSD implemented screening, the outcome of their work, and lessons learned. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gkMPiH2Y
