One of Outbreak Observatory’s priority mission areas is to share the operational challenges and successes of outbreak preparedness, response, and recovery efforts experienced by public health departments and healthcare systems. It was established under the pretense that these practitioners often have critical operational insights gained during these events, but lack dedicated mechanisms for consistently collecting and sharing this information. Since its inception in 2017, we have worked with partners to document and share their experiences during outbreaks, ensuring that future response efforts benefit from the collective successes and missed opportunities of others.
Other future mission areas of Outbreak Observatory include:
Outbreak Observatory, housed at the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health, serves as a platform for generating evidence and sharing data and information related to ongoing and emerging infectious disease health security threats.
