    Author: Beam EL, Schwedhelm MM, Boulter KC, Vasa AM, Larson L, Cieslak TJ, Lowe JJ, Herstein JJ, Kratochvil CJ, Hewlett AL.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2019 Jun; 54(2):169-180. PubMed ID: 31027659.
    Abstract:
    The 2014 to 2016 Ebola outbreak response resulted in many lessons learned about biocontainment patient care, leading to enhanced domestic capabilities for highly infectious and hazardous communicable diseases. However, additional opportunities for improvement remain. The article identifies and describes key considerations and challenges for laboratory analysis, clinical management, transportation, and personnel management during the care of patients infected with Ebola or other special pathogens. Dedication to maintaining preparedness enables biocontainment patient care teams to perform at the highest levels of safety and confidence.
