Around the time when West Texas declared its measles outbreak over, the CDC published a measles assessment tool for infection control in healthcare settings.
The assessment, rolled out Aug. 18, is intended to aid health departments and healthcare facilities in reviewing their measles prevention and response policies and procedures, as well as guide infection prevention and control practices during a community-based outbreak.
The CDC also released resources on steps to follow during a measles exposure in healthcare settings, a sample script to assess patients and visitors, and a sample measles exposure notification letter.
