GNYHA Web Site News: SARS

GNYHA has created a new page on its Web site that contains information about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The page is included at www.gnyha.org under a new section of GNYHA's Emergency Preparedness Resource Center entitled "Emerging Public Health Issues." The materials include guidelines developed by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, NYS Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and World Health Organization. The page covers triaging, diagnosing, treating, and managing suspect cases, including infection control measures for protecting other patients, health care workers, and close contacts of SARS patients. Many of the materials for patients and their families are available in several languages.
