When infection prevention is at the center of a legal case, you need an expert who can connect the dots. We provide defensible insight with clinical depth and clarity.

Infection prevention failures often lead to legal scrutiny. As an expert witness and legal nurse consultant in infection prevention and control, Heather brings specialized knowledge of IPC standards and regulations to respond to defense and plaintiff cases alike.

Broad Street Prevention offers expert review of medical records, case consultation, deposition and trial testimony, and report writing grounded in national guidelines, clinical standards, and real-world IPC experience. We translate complex clinical and regulatory issues into clear, credible language for legal teams, judges, and juries.

With experience inside the courtroom, we offer a balanced, evidence-based perspective and a reputation for thorough, professional work. Our goal is to provide clarity—not just for the court, but for the future of care.

Need an extra set of hands—or a temporary expert? We jump in quickly to keep your IPC efforts moving, no matter the challenge.

Infection prevention doesn’t stop when you’re short-staffed or mid-transition. Broad Street Prevention provides interim infection prevention support and short-term project consulting to fill gaps, manage transitions, or jumpstart initiatives.

Whether you need someone to step into an IPC role, launch a new initiative, or catch up on overdue assessments, we’re here to help. We bring structure, experience, and a sense of calm to times of change—getting you back on track without missing a beat.

Ideal for facilities between hires, facing citations, or needing extra support for a targeted project, our interim services are flexible, fast-moving, and focused on results.

Infection prevention is a global mission. We support international partners in building capacity, strengthening systems, and improving health outcomes worldwide.

Broad Street Prevention is committed to supporting global health efforts that reduce infectious disease burdens and improve healthcare delivery around the world. We collaborate with NGOs, international agencies, and Ministries of Health to design, implement, and evaluate infection prevention strategies in diverse settings.

Our global services include program development, technical advising, policy and protocol writing, capacity-building training, and outbreak support. We bring a culturally sensitive, equity-centered lens to all projects—working alongside communities to create solutions that are sustainable and context-specific.

From rural clinics to national health systems, we help partners embed infection prevention into the heart of health system strengthening—because safe and equitable care is a global right.

Rapid, strategic response when it matters most. We help you contain outbreaks, identify transmission sources, and implement meaningful changes to prevent future harm.

When an outbreak occurs, time is critical—and so is clarity. At Broad Street Prevention, we specialize in guiding healthcare organizations through outbreak response with calm, expert precision. We don’t just manage crises—we help you learn from them.

Our outbreak investigation services combine epidemiological expertise with on-the-ground insight. We help you determine what went wrong, how transmission occurred, and what actions are needed to control and prevent further spread. Through a combination of interviews, data review, process observation, and environmental assessment, we identify drivers of transmission and provide practical, timely recommendations.

Whether you’re in the middle of an outbreak or reviewing one in retrospect, we offer the clarity, compassion, and credibility you need to protect your people and prevent recurrence.

A strong infection prevention program is the backbone of patient safety. We assess your current program and help you build a roadmap for improvement—with HAI reduction goals at the center.

Your infection prevention program should do more than meet minimum requirements—it should work for your team, your patients, and your mission. We offer proactive comprehensive IPC program assessments that examine structure, staffing, policies, surveillance, education, and frontline practices.

Using evidence-based frameworks and national standards, we evaluate the strength of your program and identify high-yield opportunities for improvement. From hand hygiene to device-related infection rates, we help you set realistic, measurable goals that matter. And we don’t stop there—we work alongside you to build and execute plans that reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and create lasting cultural change.

We bring infection prevention to life through engaging, actionable education. From hands-on training to keynote presentations, we make the science stick—and inspire your team to act.

Education is one of the most powerful tools in infection prevention. At Broad Street Prevention, we offer tailored training sessions, workshops, and presentations designed to build knowledge, shift behavior, and strengthen culture.

Whether you need help onboarding staff, leadership education, or ongoing competency support, we deliver materials that resonate. Our customized training sessions are practical, interactive, and grounded in adult learning principles. We also provide customized speaking engagements for conferences, webinars, and leadership retreats—covering topics like outbreak response, burnout prevention, regulatory changes, and the future of infection prevention.

We don’t just teach; we connect with teams. With humor, humility, and real-world relevance, we help teams not only learn—but translate learning into practice.

Effective surveillance is more than counting infections—it’s knowing where to look and how to act. We help you build a strategy that not only collects data, but turns it into prevention.

Effective surveillance is more than just counting infections—it’s knowing where to look, how to analyze what you find, and acting fast. At Broad Street Prevention, we help facilities design, implement, and sustain smart surveillance strategies that not only meet regulatory standards but also reduce infections in real time.

We support organizations in:

• Developing or refining surveillance plans
• Surveillance mentorship for infection preventionists, helping them grow in confidence and competence as they build or strengthen their programs.
• Choosing the right definitions (NHSN, state-specific, etc.)
• Standardizing data collection and interpretation
• Building easy-to-understand reports and trend visualizations
• Translating data into actionable insights for frontline teams

And when your team is strapped for time? We’ve got you. Our remote surveillance support services offer reliable, professional surveillance coverage when your internal resources are stretched thin. From routine data entry and case reviews to trend monitoring and alert generation, we help ensure your infection prevention program stays responsive and proactive—even when bandwidth is low.

We support research that drives practical change. From grant writing to program design, we help turn ideas into outcomes in infection prevention and public health.

At Broad Street Prevention, we believe research should lead to real-world impact. That’s why we support healthcare systems, academic partners, and public health agencies in developing and implementing research protocols, evaluating programs, and completing research projects that improve infection prevention and control.

As an experienced project manager in research, we provide services including research proposal development, study coordination, program design, manuscript support, and evaluation strategy. We specialize in studies targeting implementation science in the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections, and healthcare behavior change—but collaborate across all healthcare settings.

We bring both scientific rigor and pragmatic insight to every collaboration, ensuring your research is actionable, publishable, and meaningful to the people it’s meant to serve.

We partner with health departments to strengthen community health infrastructure, support outbreak response, and expand infection prevention capacity.

Health departments play a critical role in protecting communities—and they need strong partners to keep up with growing demands. Broad Street Prevention works alongside local and state health departments to provide surge capacity, expert training, outbreak response support, and consultation in healthcare settings. 

We assist in creating tools, training programs, and technical guidance that support infection prevention and public health goals. Whether it’s conducting nursing home assessments, writing guidance documents, or facilitating provider education, we offer flexible, high-quality services grounded in real-world experience.

Our partnerships are collaborative, respectful, and focused on building sustainable capacity. Together, we can prevent more infections—and strengthen public health systems from the inside out.
