Section 4: Infection Control<br />

Healthcare Facilities:<br />

• Regularly access the HAN for new information and changes in guidance for<br />

pandemic influenza and disseminate to direct care providers.<br />

• Initiate conservative infection control measures to when the pandemic reaches the<br />

geographical borders identified during pandemic planning.<br />

• Report to appropriate public health entity (i.e., Article 28 facilities to the<br />

NYSDOH; non-Article 28 facilities to the local health department) when complex<br />

situations necessitate alterations of infection control practices (e.g., shortages of<br />

PPE, routine outbreak control measures ineffective).<br />
