For all healthcare workers
Every health and defense authority (JCAHO, CDC, FBI, and Dept. of Homeland Defense) are recommending that all healthcare personnel be
trained on bioterrorism.
As JCAHO President Dennis O'Leary told Congress, "...such education is essential to a prompt
response to any bioterrorism attack".
Viewers learn:
How to recognize a BT disease outbreak
Symptoms of anthrax, smallpox, plague, botulism
Modes of transmission
Precautions to take with patients
How to reduce public anxiety
Hospital wide training is so important because victims of bioterrorism
(BT) could show up at almost any area of the hospital. Your viewers will
appreciate the rich visual approach. It's the best method of teaching.
They learn fast, and it stays with them.
Viewers see the difference between:
Cutaneous anthrax and a spider bite
Inhalation anthrax and the flu
Smallpox and chickenpox
Botulism and other paralyzing ailments
These diseases can be managed with existing infection control
procedures. Many, such as botulism and anthrax, only require standard
precautions. Smallpox is the most contagious requiring airborne
precautions. If an inadvertent exposure occurs, a vaccination (even a
few day later) is effective.
"Great! Subjects covered were clear, to the point, and easily understood. We made (this video) mandatory for all staff."
Adrienne Barcia, Infection Control Supervisor
St. Elizabeth Hospital, Belleville, IL
