RRS makes HCID Training simple: top-tier training, peace of mind, and a team ready for anything—Ebola, SARS, or the next curveball. Contact us to schedule your training—your hospital deserves this.
We don’t need to tell you the world’s gotten messier—COVID-19, Ebola, SARS, and whatever’s next have put hospitals like yours on the front lines.
We’ve talked to ED managers who thought they were set, only to freeze when a drill threw HCID at them—staff scrambling, PPE slipping, and no plan for the chaos. That’s not a “what if” anymore; it’s a “when.”
Regulators like OSHA, CDC, and The Joint Commission aren’t messing around—they’re demanding HCID readiness now, and for good reason.
At RRS, we’ve built a training program that doesn’t just check boxes—it keeps your team sharp, compliant, and ready for the worst.
High-Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCIDs)—think Ebola, viral hemorrhagic fevers, MERS, or COVID variants—aren’t your average bugs. They’re highly infectious, often deadly, and a beast to contain. After global wake-up calls like COVID and Ebola, the heat’s on:
CDC & ASPR TRACIE: Pushing isolation, PPE, and decon protocols for outbreaks—hospitals need to prove they’re ready (CDC HCID Guidance).
OSHA: Mandates protection for frontline staff—skip it, and fines hit hard, starting at $16K (OSHA Biological Agents).
The Joint Commission: Surveys now dig into HCID response plans—training’s not optional anymore.
Hospitals sweat these audits—untrained teams mean exposure risks, penalties, and a rep that takes a beating. HCID training isn’t a luxury; it’s your lifeline.
We’re not into boring training slide decks—RRS delivers gold-standard HCID training that’s practical, hands-on, and built for your hospital. Here’s what’s you can expect:
PPE Protocols: Advanced donning and doffing with live feedback—50% of contamination happens stripping off, and we’ve got it covered (AJIC, 2015).
Infectious Decon: Safe, fast containment of HCID pathogens—no guesswork, just results.
Isolation & Triage: Smart protocols to lock it down and move patients right—ED-ready.
Safe Transport: Room entry and patient handoff that keeps the bug in check.
Live Drills: Optional onsite or virtual sims—real scenarios, real prep, audit-proof docs included.
We helped teams go from “uh-oh” to “we’ve got this” in a single session—scalable from a small crew to your whole staff, custom-fit for ED, ICU, or support roles.
We’re not newbies—RRS is a national leader in patient decon and first receiver training, trusted coast to coast. Here’s why we’re the go-to:
Compliance Locked: OSHA-aligned, The Joint Commission-ready—pass audits with ease.
Proven Grit: We’ve trained hospitals through real-world stress—our stuff holds up.
Flexible Fit: One team or the whole facility—we scale to you, no fuss.
Documentation Done: Proof of competency, ready for the clipboard crew.
Outsourcing: We offer comprehensive outsourced solutions, so you no longer worry.
Do nothing, and here’s what’s at stake:
Staff Safety: Exposure risks climb—your frontline takes the hit.
OSHA Staff safety violations: $16K–$161K per incident
Joint Commission Loss of accreditation: Millions in lost billing
CMSMedicare/Medicaid de-certification: Funding withdrawal
Legal Claims from Patient & worker lawsuits: $250K–$1M+ settlements
Reputation: “Oops General” trending for a decon flop? Not a good look.
Hospitals that skimp on training also lose trust when an incident occurs, for which they could have been prepared.
HCID threats don’t wait, and neither should you. RRS makes it simple: top-tier training, peace of mind, and a team ready for anything—Ebola, SARS, or the next curveball.
