Disease Intervention Unit
Overview
During the COVID-19 pandemic it became evident that the state reporting data system could not house or be utilized for case investigation or support cross-jurisdictional communication - this led to the development of CalCONNECT. CalCONNECT has the ability to conduct case investigation, contact tracing, and cross-jurisdictional communication.
Our team is proposing to collaborate with branches of the California Department of Public Health Center for Infectious Diseases and local health departments across California to increase the adoption and/or optimization of CalCONNECT. We will provide technical assistance and support on the new statewide case investigation/contact tracing system as well as provide guidance on workflows and standard operating procedures.
