Hawaii's Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC), Enhancing Epidemiology, Laboratory, and Health Information Systems Capacity - HAWAII’S PROJECT NARRATIVE ABSTRACT Hawaii is applying for the competing first year funding under the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Cooperative Agreement (ELC) to improve and protect the health of Hawaii’s citizens and visitors by providing the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) the tools and skills to improve surveillance for and response to infectious diseases and other public health threats by (1) strengthening epidemiologic capacity; (2) enhancing laboratory practice; (3) improving information systems; and (4) developing and implementing prevention and control strategies for a number of project area infectious diseases. Hawaii has made vast improvements over the past 22 years with assistance from the CDC ELC Cooperative Agreement, and we will continue to provide improvements to core functions and objectives that strengthen and integrate capacity for disease detection and response in Hawaii and the Pacific region. HDOH seeks to fund an ELC Management team, made up of an ELC Grant Manager and an ELC Accountant to better plan and implement activities and ensure plans are feasible, to build upon inter-related core infrastructure as well as disease-specific projects’ activities and capabilities. HDOH will strengthen epidemiologic capacity by continuing a multi-purpose Epidemiologist and Laboratorian to provide epidemiological specialists and laboratorians with epi/lab skills training, and surge-capacity training. HDOH will continue to enhance laboratory capacity through collaboration with local partners to perform multiplex respiratory panel testing and expand respiratory pathogen surveillance beyond influenza testing, use pyrosequencing to build drug resistance detection capacity. We also seek to build on current relationships to strengthen liaisons between the state and other laboratories as well as strengthen epidemiological and laboratory coordination. Funding is sought to continue HDOH healthcare associated infection (HAI) prevention activities, including continued funding of the HAI Collaborative Coordinator, and support for the Antimicrobial Resistance Coordinator, including AR testing expertise at the State Laboratories Division. HDOH will enhance health information systems capabilities by providing for more robust interoperability into HI-EDSS (MAVEN), our investigations and outbreak management system, providing public health informatics training to existing staff, and continuing the ELC Informatician to build upon the use electronic laboratory reporting (ELR), electronic case reporting (eCR) messaging, and laboratory data exchange (LDE) initiatives, including the addition of syndromic surveillance. We also seek to maintain the SLD laboratory information system (STARLIMS) technical support agreement for an additional 12 months. Hawaii’s application reflects the approach to enhance disease-specific projects such as foodborne disease surveillance activities, including the transition in the laboratory to Whole Genome Sequencing capabilities, influenza and non-influenza respiratory disease surveillance and response, providing the resources for outbreaks of influenza and non-influenza respiratory, and other infectious disease outbreaks; laboratory expertise in West Nile Virus and other Arboviral Diseases, Parasitic Diseases, AR Gonorrhea, and participation in CaliciNet and PulseNET USA, National Outbreak Reporting System, and MosquitoNet. Hawaii also seeks to participate in reviewing advanced molecular detection (AMD) methodologies at the clinical laboratory level and their usefulness in public health response beyond enterics. Leveraging previously funded ELC resources and requesting funding to support new strategies as well as enhancements in key areas will enable HDOH to provide adaptable responses to high priority infectious and emerging disease threats and design prevention strategies for public health policy. We remain committed to developing innovative means for public health.
