The COVID pandemic, healthcare outbreaks and concern for antibiotic resistant organisms, highlight the importance of public health and healthcare facilities collaborating effectively to protect patients and prevent harms related to healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens (AR). The Council for Outbreak Response: Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial-Resistant Pathogens (COHRA): works to improve practices and policies at the local, state, and national levels for the detection, investigation, reporting, control, and prevention of HAI/AR outbreaks across the healthcare continuum. Two infection preventionists (IP) will highlight their role on CORHA and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in the prevention and control of HAI/AR outbreaks... As council members, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) representatives bring expertise in infection prevention, environmental factors, and HAI/AR reporting. Examples of the collaborative work will be presented including the role of APIC members in advancing the crucial role of front -line IPs working collaboratively with their public health colleagues, as well as mechanisms to improve and communicate this crucial role.
