INDIANAPOLIS - The flu season is approaching and healthcare facilities are preparing for an exceptionally high number of influenza patients. Hospital emergency departments and outpatient offices may be overwhelmed with patients concerned about influenza. Reduce the spread of the flu by screening patients and staff outside your hospital in a temporary pandemic screening area. Healthcare facilities can use the Pandemic Screening Shelter Package to facilitate screening for the flu prior to entering the hospital. Flu patients and staff can be triaged and directed appropriately to reduce the spread of the flu.
The Pandemic Screening Shelter Package contains the following supplies needed to set up a screening area:
• 10’x10' Shelter with Sidewalls (1)
• Shelter Lights (3)
• Folding Tables (2)
• Folding Chairs (4)
• Biohazard Bag Holder with Bags (1)
• Check In/Out Sign
• Optional Heater
The Pandemic Screening Shelter Package adds additional safety precautions and increases operational effectiveness by separating people contagious with the flu from other non-contagious patients.
