* EC: Be Prepared to Respond to Ebola Virus Disease: Checklist for health care organizations[®] [REF: JCSC, LDR, PI] EC News, December 2014, Vol 17, #12, Pg 3 JCe1412_B5

This article contains a listing of key principles for managing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).  While that concern is less likely for psychiatric hospitals, our staff would still benefit from being aware of the basic facts regarding the disease.  These are nicely presented in a Facts About Ebola sidebar on page 3.  The article also pointed out the following references/resources:
• CDC: Ebola General information page
• CDC: Ebola-related infection prevention and control
• TJC:  Ebola preparedness resources
• OSHA: Ebola surface cleaning and decontamination
Tip: IC and StEd consider using this article’s sidebar and/or TJC’s Quick Safety #7 (Special 2-page Edition on EVD) as a general information handout to all staff.
