Welcome to the INSPIRE Readiness - Innovation Exchange, a hub for advancing public health innovation. This platform offers valuable resources to help public health agencies learn and implement innovative strategies. Transform your approach to public health challenges by tapping into our collection of resources designed to inspire and guide your innovative journey.
Advancing Wastewater Surveillance for Public Health Impact
Wastewater surveillance (WWS) provides important information about changes in community-level disease trends. WWS data allows health departments to target infectious disease prevention efforts, which is critical to maximizing limited resources and public health impact. To enhance WWS effectiveness and build public trust, learn about ethical considerations and innovative solutions for addressing them, as exemplified by Colorado.
Innovative Solutions to Mitigate Infectious Disease Outbreaks
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases continue to test the agility and resilience of public health systems. Tuberculosis (TB), a long-standing public health threat with complex clinical and social implications, offers a powerful lens through which we can examine and strengthen outbreak response systems. Learn about best practices and lessons learned from TB readiness to guide preparedness and response strategies for a wide range of infectious threats.
