• Description:
  U.S. healthcare professionals—including infection prevention- ists—have had many questions regarding preparation for Ebola since three American EVD patients were brought back to the United States from West Africa for treatment. CDC has released numerous resources and tools to help U.S. healthcare facilities prepare for EVD. For your convenience, here we present four of these resources from the CDC:
  
  1. Frequently asked questions: Safe management of patients with Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in U.S. hospitals (page 58)
  
  2. Infection prevention and control recommendations for hospitalized patients with known or suspected Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever in U.S. hospitals (page 60)
  
  3. Case definition for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) (page 63)
  
  4. Interim guidance for environmental infection control in hospitals for Ebola Virus (page 64).
