Shifting Strategies: Tailoring Tech Tools to Improve Public Health Outcomes

Faced with a novel virus that spurred a public health crisis, environmental health officials were forced to take drastic measures to ensure the health of residents. While the beginning of that fight revolved around containment, mitigation, and enforcement, it quickly shifted to managing telework, conducting virtual inspections, and maintaining community relationships. Learn how many were able to pivot and begin using new strategies which incorporated technology such as virtual inspections and telework to remain in contact with those seeking answers and maintain a productive workforce.

Speakers:

  • Lou Trescott, Vice President, Conference of Local Environmental Health Directors
  • Darryl Booth, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Accela (invited)

Date/Time: Friday, August 20, 2021; 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
