Outbreak Management in Healthcare

Outbreaks don’t fail because we don’t know what to do — they can fail when systems can’t keep up in real time.

In this episode of the Infection Control Exchange, we explore how outbreaks actually unfold across healthcare settings and why traditional approaches to tracking and managing cases often break down under pressure.

Drawing on experience across public health, acute care, and long-term care, this episode focuses on the operational realities of outbreak response — and what’s needed to improve visibility, coordination, and speed when it matters most.

• How outbreaks escalate across units and teams
• The limitations of manual tracking systems
• Why real-time visibility is critical
• What better outbreak management can look like
