Patient-zero drill finds 40% of health facilities failing
Original: Patient-zero drill put health facilities to the test—40% of them failed
Health facilities were put through a patient-zero drill testing how they would respond to an initial case of a dangerous outbreak, and 40% of them failed the exercise. The results point to gaps in infection-control readiness and emergency response procedures at a significant share of institutions, raising questions about preparedness for future disease outbreaks.
Why now: Concerns about outbreak preparedness make health-system readiness test results newsworthy.
