IntroductionDomestic Ebola preparedness is a top CDC priority. CDC has awarded $145 million in supplemental funding to the current 62 Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement awardees to support preparedness planning and operational readiness for responding to Ebola.

Funds are intended to: Support accelerated public health preparedness planning for Ebola within state, local, territorial, and

tribal public health systems. Improve and assure operational readiness for Ebola and support state, local, territorial, and tribal Ebola

public health response efforts. Assure collaboration, coordination, and partnership with the jurisdiction’s healthcare system to assist in

the development of a tiered system for Ebola patient care. Strengthen existing partnerships public health preparedness programs have built with healthcare,

epidemiology, and laboratory colleagues in their jurisdictions. Establish new partnerships with infection control programs in their jurisdictions to advance the

development of stronger healthcare system infection control programs.

PHEP supplemental funding targets the accelerated development of public health preparedness capabilities needed to prepare for Ebola. These include:

Capability 1 - Community Preparedness; Capability 4 - Emergency Public Information and Warning / Capability 6 - Information Sharing; Capability 10 - Medical Surge; Capability 11 - Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions; Capability 12 - Public Health Laboratory Testing; Capability 13 - Public Health Surveillance and Epidemiological Investigation; and Capability 14 - Responder Safety and Health.

Overview of the Ebola Performance Measures (EPR)This document contains 11 supplemental performance measures. Four of these measures are specific to the PHEP program and will be collected by the Division of State and Local Readiness (DSLR). The four measures relate to specific activities outlined in the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) and Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Cooperative Agreements / PHEP Supplemental for Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities, CDC-RFA-TP12-12010302SUPP15.

The remaining seven are joint performance measures that were developed in collaboration with three other CDC programs. These programs will collect and share data associated with these joint measures as indicated in the descriptions of the measures. The other programs include the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP); the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ); and the Division of Preparedness and Emerging Infections (DPEI). The joint measures relate to activities outlined in the Domestic Ebola Supplement to Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) - Building and Strengthening Epidemiology, Laboratory and Health Information Systems Capacity in State and Local Health Departments, CK14-1401PPHFSUPP15. The ELC supplement covers three separate, but related, projects: (1) Healthcare Infection Control Assessment and Response, (2) Laboratory Biosafety, and (3) Global Migration, Border Interventions,

Page 4: Public Health Emergency Preparedness - Kansas … · Web viewUpdate state healthcare-acquired infections (HAI) action plan to include strategies for assessing gaps in infection control

and Migrant Health. Building on the success of current PHEP and ELC joint measures, these new Ebola joint measures ensure accountability for key activities related to Ebola preparedness and response while also ensuring data collection efforts are not duplicative across CDC-funded programs.

The PHEP Ebola performance measures include two types of measures: Accountability measures to assess which awardees are completing key planning and training activities

described in the PHEP Ebola supplemental guidance and Performance measures to assess how well a given activity or function is being performed.

As required in the PHEP Supplemental for Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities guidance, all awardees are required to report baseline and follow-up data via PERFORMS and other required reporting mechanisms. Awardees must submit baseline data on select performance measures in May 2015, along with follow-up data collection as part of routine progress reporting. Points-in-time data should be collected (collection months) and the time data should be reported into PERFORMS (reporting months) for each of the EPR performance measures as listed on the following pages of this guidance document.

Document OrganizationThis guidance document provides the following information:

a brief description of each performance measure including the indicator; the capability to which the measure aligns; type of measure; whether it is a joint measure; which CDC division(s) collects the measure; who is required to report; months in which data will be reported in PERFORMS1; targets for reporting when applicable; clarifying comments; and data elements to be collected.
