[Histonet] RE: Ebola

[Weems, Joyce K.]

We have the same - a task force with evolving info - with early input from the CDC, but universal precautions are emphasized even more now. Emory is really on top of it all!!

My best to everyone and happy Friday!!

My area has a large west African population and we have already established a interim procedure based on the CDC's guidelines, and the Philadelphia Dept of Health, Division of Disease control. We also have a response committee that is actively reviewing this procedure to insure that it is up to date and that all involved are educated on how to handle their piece.  It includes: response for any patient presenting with fever, patient interviews including travel history, assessment of exposure risk, reporting, isolation and housing precautions for suspect patients, transportation and handling of specimens, and heaven forbid, morgue procedures.
Universal precautions are just not enough.
