Description: New organisms are always appearing in healthcare, from antibiotic resistance to novel pathogens crossing the animal-human species barrier. Each new organism seems to cause us to forget Routine Practices that are in place to keep healthcare workers safe all the time, regardless of a new organism. This presentation will review the history of new organisms in our world, and steps to ensure that we are prepared between outbreaks or pandemics, and how to communicate or inform ourselves in an efficient and accurate manner.
