c. Target Audience Statement: The target audience will be NG Surgeon Generals, military and federal medical personnel, hospitals, and units, public health leaders, managers, and professionals from local and state government agencies, clinical laboratories, boards of health, community organizations, academic institutions, federal agencies, and others who seek to learn more about the role of public health and clinical laboratories in protecting the public's health in times of emerging diseases, such as SARS.
d. Program Summary: Control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) begins at the clinical interface --- suspicion, prompt recognition, appropriate diagnostics, and rapid implementation of infection prevention measures. Each program will assist healthcare providers in preparing to diagnose and manage patients with SARS should cases be suspected or identified in the coming months. Although the likelihood of SARS re-emerging in the US and elsewhere is not known, the seasonal emergence of similar respiratory diseases forces us to prepare for that possibility.
e. Program Goal and Objectives: To provide updated information required to identify and manage patients with SARS, and to prevent transmission of SARS in healthcare facilities and the community.
1. Describe key strategies for implementing healthcare preparedness planning to contain the spread of SARS.
2. Articulate the current plan for containment of the spread of SARS in the community setting to include quarantine and isolation strategies.
3. Identify the support systems necessary to carry out quarantine and isolation strategies.
4. Implement current strategies for early clinical regonition and management of patients with SARS.
5. Determine appropriate diagnostic tests for SARS.
6. Define early detection for SARS in the local community and in the United States.
7. Define surveillance for SARS in the local community and in the United States.
