Laboratory Surge Response to Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Outbreak, New York City Metropolitan Area, USA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 11/25/09
Crawford JM et al. – In response, laboratory and client service workforces were increased, physical plant build–out was completed, testing paradigms were converted from routine screening tests and viral culture to a high capacity molecular assay for respiratory viruses, laboratory information system interfaces were built, and same–day epidemiologic reports were produced. Daily review by leadership of data from emergency rooms, hospital facilities, and the Health System Laboratories enabled real–time management of unfolding events. The ability of System laboratories to rapidly increase to high–volume comprehensive diagnostics, including influenza A subtyping, provided key epidemiologic information for local and state public health departments.
