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.
