In the CDC Expert Commentary series on Medscape, Dr. David Kuhar, Healthcare Infection Control Team Lead for the CDC Ebola Response, reiterates what healthcare facilities can do to prepare for a patient with Ebola virus disease and the infection control procedures that need to be in place in U.S. hospitals.
