NETEC: Emergency Medical Services and Hospital Coordination for Special Pathogens Transport

In a recent episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan, RN is joined by Stefanie Lane, MS, MPH, NREMT, of Massachusetts General Hospital and Michael Carr, MD, FACEP, FAEMS, of Emory University School of Medicine to explore one of the most complex moments in special pathogen response: the transfer of a patient with a suspected or confirmed high-consequence infectious disease. Key takeaways include the aspects of preparation, communication, and coordination between hospitals and EMS agencies that protect patients, providers, and health care operations during high-risk transports.
