What We DoProgramsPublic Health Emergencies

Response to Public Health Emergencies|COVID-19

In the presence of public health emergencies, RAZR works collaboratively with other public health emergency partners without duplication in response to such crises.  RAZR’s targeted approach is based on the latest available statistical models for understanding the prevalence, incidence, and spread of diseases throughout the nation. RAZR develops agile teams able to recognize emerging needs and trends occurring through rapid-cycle data collection and analysis that will allow for immediate corrective action at the hospital level.
