Pandemic Operational Planning and Infection Control Handbook for Home Health and Hospice

This publication was created to serve as a guide for home and hospice providers to use in their influenza pandemic preparedness planning. Home health agencies' and hospices' ability to care for an increased number of patients, while controlling the spread of infection, will be dependent largely upon their level of knowledge and their readiness to coordinate with other vital services in the community. The Pandemic Operational Planning and Infection Control Handbook for Home Health and Hospice, which is comprised of information collected from a variety of government resources, will provide answers and tools necessary to address the many questions providers have about pandemic preparedness.
