U.S. Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control Considerations Steps that facilities should implement as a routine part of triage to quickly identify, isolate, and inform public health authorities about patients who may have communicable infections: ▪ Ask about and document international travel histories at initial triage. This information can alert healthcare personnel to the possibility of communicable infections, such as viral hemorrhagic fevers or emerging respiratory viruses, and other health conditions, such as malaria, that need specific treatment. ▪ Identify patients who have fever and other signs and symptoms of infection and might warrant isolation pending further evaluation. ▪ Post contact information in easily visible locations for infection control personnel and the local public health jurisdiction for reporting of communicable diseases.
Infectious Disease Protocol Remember to: 1 - Identify 2 - Isolate 3 – Inform: Call 1-866-PUB-HLTH
