The Ebola outbreak
in West Africa has increased the possibility of patients traveling from
the impacted countries to U.S. hospitals. A few patients with Ebola
virus disease have been medically evacuated to
receive care in U.S. hospitals. Recently, the first case of Ebola virus
disease was diagnosed in the United States in a person who traveled to
Dallas, Texas from West Africa; this patient passed away on October 8,
2014. CDC and partners are taking precautions
to prevent the spread of Ebola within the United States. During this
COCA Call, the presenters will focus on healthcare systems preparedness,
and participants will learn how Emory Healthcare and Nebraska Medical
Center prepared for patients with Ebola and
the lessons learned. To help presenters communicate content that is
most important to clinicians, please submit your questions before the
call to
coca@cdc.gov. Please
note: the focus of this call will be healthcare systems preparedness,
not clinical management of the patients with Ebola.
