Background and Brief Description
Two years ago, contaminated steroid
injections caused the largest fungal
meningitis outbreak in the United
States, affecting 20 states and resulting
in 751 infections and 64 deaths. The
subsequent healthcare-associated
infection (HAI) outbreak response
required significant collaboration
between healthcare providers and
facilities and public health departments
(HDs). Following the outbreak response,
HDs reported that various challenges
with access to patient health
information in electronic health records
(EHRs) hindered the efficient and rapid
identification of potential fungal
meningitis cases in healthcare facilities.
The fungal meningitis outbreak
experience highlights the need to better
understand the landscape of granting
and using access to EHRs for outbreak
investigations.
The Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion, the Office for State, Tribal,
Local and Territorial Support, and the
Office of Public Health Scientific
Services at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) are
partnering with Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials and The
Keystone Center to evaluate the
challenges surrounding HDs access to
EHRs in healthcare facilities’ during an
HAI outbreak investigation. The
evaluation seeks to compile information
across states from experts in the public
and private sector to assess experiences,
identify issues, and seek
recommendations for improving HDs
access to EHRs during future outbreaks.
In addition to a study report, the
insights from healthcare facility staff
will be used to build a toolkit to help
state HDs understand the perspectives
and needs of the healthcare facilities
related to EHR access. The toolkit will
provide perceived barriers,
recommendations to overcome those
barriers, best practices that support EHR
access, and practical tools such as
templates, memorandums of
understanding (MOUs), and policies.
The toolkit will be distributed to HDs,
healthcare facilities, and other
