HCID Isolation Planning Templates for Healthcare

This resource compiles planning documents and templates for managing high consequence infectious diseases that require airborne isolation, contact isolation, and eye protection for staff. It outlines the Identify–Isolate–Inform process, steps for securing and preparing negative pressure rooms, and guidance for coordinating arrivals via ambulance or walk-in. Detailed PPE guidance covers donning and doffing sequences for N95 respirators and powered air purifying respirators, with emphasis on trained observers, hand hygiene, and safe waste disposal. It also provides prompts for defining current outbreaks of concern, travel screening, and policy sections to include for institutional readiness and staff safety.
