Last week the CDC released a workbook compiled from discussions during September’s Pediatric Healthcare Response to Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Stakeholder Meeting in Atlanta.
After the severity of H1N1, particularly on pediatric patients, the workbook was published to assist hospitals with coordinating medical care for pediatric influenza-like illnesses. The tool is split into two sections - Children’s Hospital Focus and General Hospital Focus - so that it can be used to plan for a pandemic spread in a variety of environments.
“This workbook is not intended to replace your hospital's previous planning efforts,” the authors noted. “Instead, it builds on those efforts. The utility of this workbook comes from using existing information to assist in coordinating pediatric ILI medical care across a community.”
