High-Consequence Infectious Diseases Are Here—Is Your Hospital Prepared?

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. 

Why HCID Training Matters

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.

  • 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:

  • Outsourcing: We offer comprehensive outsourced solutions, so you no longer worry. 

The Cost of Skipping HCID Training

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.
