Topic: Outbreak Investigation: News Release

Overview

This assignment will take you through the ten steps of an outbreak investigation using a Vila Health simulation. As you proceed through the simulations, pay attention to what happened: what went right, what went wrong, and the lessons learned. After completing this media simulation, you will create a news release on the events surrounding the investigation.

Preparation

News Release

Use the Internet to find examples of news releases from public health organizations.

Vila Health: Outbreak Investigation

Use the Vila Health: Outbreak Investigation simulation linked in Resources to complete your assignment. You will introduce yourself in the hospital as the infection-control manager from a state public health agency. There are reports that numerous patients have contracted a gastrointestinal illness.

As you receive each update from various staff members, take notes, perform your research, and then report on the steps taken in the outbreak investigation. Each step in the report should be about one page long, but some may take multiple pages to capture a comprehensive response.

As you progress through the media simulation, your answers to key questions and thoughts will be recorded and made available to you at the end of the simulation. Save the PDF file to help compose your news release.
