1 Welcome to the PulseNet/OutbreakNet Central Regional Meeting March 6-8, 2019 Doubletree Hotel Downtown Omaha, NE 7:00 am 8:00 am Registration Wednesday, March 6, 2019 Joint Session 8:00 am - 8:30 am Welcome & Introductions DFWED Leadership Opening Remarks 8:30 am 10:00 am Session I: The Future is Here: PulseNet/OutbreakNet Transition to WGS Lessons Learned from an Outbreak (outbreak ideas: Salmonella Enteritidis in a MI hatchery or E. coli O157 in leafy greens) Communications placeholder Open discussion 10:00 am-10:30 am Break and Program Tables*Representatives will be present at program tables during scheduled breaks to perform live demonstrations, provide information, or answer questions on their respective topic or program. 12/11/2018

2 10:30 am 12:00 Session II: The Future is Here: Managing New Workflows, Communication of Outbreak Data, and Data Integration- Panel Perspectives from high volume vs low volume states How do we handle (report and communicate?) multi-state matches with WGS? How does WGS handle common pathogens? Salmonella prioritization: (FoodNet perspectives-practices to keep serotyping information with rollout of WGS and limited funding) Local cluster detection: From interpretation & reporting to communication Utility of Campylobacter for WGS: Puppy outbreak & MN Experience Open discussion 12:00 pm-1:30 pm Lunch On Your Own PulseNet Track 1:30pm 4:00 pm midway point) PulseNet Updates at Federal/State Levels Adapting Workflows for WGS: Where Are We Now and What s to Come? Planning committee can provide a template for discussions: 1. Current Status/Updates from CDC 2. Does your workflow incorporate CIDTs (Pros, Cons, How to improve run)? 3. Does your laboratory workflow allow for a 7 working day TAT (Yes (How), No (Why), and improvements) 4. Aside for $$, are there other issues preventing your lab from conducting real-time surveillance (what support/ideas would be required to improve it)? 5. How is your laboratory prioritizing sequencing all Salmonella samples? OutbreakNet and Environmental Health Track 1:30pm 4:30 pm midway point) OutbreakNet Updates WGS Transition: Moving Forward 1. Prioritization for interviewing and updates from the WGS working groups a. Discussion on WGS for E. coli and Campylobacter 2. Local cluster detection mock demonstration 3. Communications Surrounding WGS a. Communications to the public and industry 4. Open Discussion Room/Discussion Setup 2

3 Arrange room into smaller work groups to discuss workflows and designated liaison from each group provide a summary of discussion to the room to facilitate a question session. 1. Each laboratory individually present their overall laboratory workflows to larger group Best practices for automation or making WGS efficient without automation, etc. 4:00 pm 4:30 Discussion & Wrap Up pm 4:30 pm Adjourn for Day 1 4:30 pm Adjourn for Day 1 Breakout Sessions (Up to 3) 4:30 pm 5:30 pm Thursday, March 7, :00 am 8:30 am Registration Sunrise Sessions (Up to 3) 7:30 am 8:15 am 3
