Building Laboratory Capacity at the Local Level Angela Van Houten, MS Wyoming Public Health Laboratory

Objectives Describe the development and implementation of a capacity building grant program aimed at sentinel labs throughout Wyoming Discuss the program-wide value of a preparedness funding project, including the impact on statewide lab connectivity Describe the laboratory outcomes of the grant project at a local, sentinel lab level

Wyoming Laboratory Response Network Food Veterinary Wildlife Clinical Public Health

Wyoming LRN National Labs: CDC & USAMRIID Confirmatory Labs:WPHL WSVL WG&F Sentinel Labs:35 Clinical Laboratories (First Responders)WASL

Wyoming LRN - Sentinel Labs 35 Sentinel Laboratories 22/23 Counties 29 Community Hospitals 1 Free standing lab 2 VA Hospitals 1 Air Force Base Clinic 2 Indian Health Services Facilities

Initial Survey & Grants page survey of basic capabilities Identified areas of need –Class II BSC –Training on packaging and shipping –Training on presumptive ID of bacterial BT agents Supplemental BT Grant $80k for Class II BSC (10 sentinel labs) BSC purchase, training & certification

Birth of ‘Bioterrorism Community Laboratory Capacity Building Grant’ –Focus Area C: >$280K –HRSA Hospital Bioterrorism Program: $180K Laboratory Capacity Steering Committee –10 volunteer sentinel laboratorians –WPHL-BRL personnel –Oversaw development of grant concept –Grant Scoring Task Force

Grant Documents Grant Guidance –Eligibility –Goals and Objectives –Funding Mechanism Grant Application –Cookie cutter approach Needs Assessment –16 pages –In-depth capability and capacity assessment

Grant Focus Primary Goals –Personnel and Facility Safety –Training & Educational Resources –Communications infrastructure –Microbiology lab instrumentation & equipment Obtain comprehensive baseline data on sentinel lab’s capacity & capability –16 page needs assessment survey –Completion mandatory to receive funding

Response in Year ONE 30 Labs participated (30/34 eligible) Awards ranged from $4,800-$20,250 –63% (19/30) safety, 3 BSC –93% (28/30) education, conferences, etc. –30% (9/30) communication equipment –43% (13/30) IT equipment –97% (29/30) lab enhancement (incubator, microscope, centrifuge, blood culture system)

Grant Year ONE- Awards Contracts with each sentinel lab –Flexibility was the key CAP-Lab Preparedness Survey supported –2002: 10 sentinel labs volunteered for ‘pilot’ –2003: 27 sentinel labs –2004: $250 added to each labs grant Progress reporting requirements –3 throughout the year

Progress Report

Year TWO –Focus Area C: >$340K –HRSA Hospital Bioterrorism Program: >$150K Addition to Primary Goals –Recruitment and retention of lab professionals Expectation that lab met requirements of goals and reports for year 1 –Progress Reporting Requirements –Expenditure of funds as described

Year Two Recruitment and Retention Goal Encourage creative use of funds to either recruit or retain highly skilled microbiologists in community laboratory facilities. Funding for development of involvement of skilled microbiologist in community preparedness activities

Response to Year 2 32/35 Labs participated, awards ranged from $6,600-$20,000 –41% (13/32) recruitment & retention –50% (16/32) safety, 2 additional BSCs –88% (28/32) conferences, education, etc. –9% (3/32) communication equipment –22% (7/32) IT equipment –94% (30/32) lab equipment enhancement Progress reporting requirements

Status of 1 o Goals Year One & Two Accomplishments Sentinel Labs in WY have BSCs Sentinel Labs in WY have personnel trained on packaging and shipping requirements Sentinel Labs in WY have capacity for electronic communication Additionally, Sentinel Labs purchased CAP- LPS for 2005

Benefits For Sentinel Labs and Laboratorians Increased involvement/membership in Wyoming state laboratory societies Increased participation at both state & national conferences Increased personnel and facility safety – BSC, PPE, Training, Packaging & Shipping Improved electronic communication capability at local labs Enhanced local lab capacity overall

Benefits For Preparedness Program Increased awareness of preparedness efforts in local communities throughout state Developed positive relationships between community laboratories and WPHL-BRL Promoted partnering between HRSA/CDC grant activities

Benefits

It takes a Team! Many Thanks To: Sandra Novick, PhD, MT (ASCP) Laboratory Capacity Steering Committee Merit Thomas, HRSA Hospital BT Coordinator
