Irvine G - Successful management of infected patients is dependent upon rapid identification of the causative virus. This enables effective placement of infected patients by single room isolation or cohorting the same infections utilising additional respiratory droplet precautions. This paper will describe a successful program that is dependent upon: availability of single rooms; an extensive specimen collection service by the virology laboratory; rapid virus detection; testing patients in the emergency department prior to admission; scrupulous attention to hand hygiene by health care workers and visitors; strict attention to decontamination of shared medical equipment; adequate environmental cleaning; effective cough etiquette by health care workers and visitors; and an extensive health care worker influenza vaccination program.
