Prepare a memo of <1000 words in which you describe quarantine and isolation.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a public health case study and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Hello, I am requesting to create a memo as if they are an Emergency Preparedness Coordinator at a large Midwestern local health department. Prepare a memo of < 1000 words in which you describe quarantine and isolation using the scenario described below. Identify three (3) cultural differences that might have an impact on all phases of an infectious disease outbreak. Describe three (3) components of an ethical framework that you want to be sure the partners consider as they review and revise the preparedness plan especially with respect to quarantine and isolation. In your conclusion, describe the ethical implications of decision-making during a disease outbreak and suggest any other issues you think should be addressed in the context of a community’s response to an emerging infectious disease outbreak.

Using the link in the title above, upload your file as a MS Word document with your last name and ex3 as file name, in an essay of <1000 words, APA citation format as appropriate.

Background: The experiences with quarantine during the SARS epidemic varied considerably among the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. One obvious difference is that the US had many fewer cases in comparison to these other countries. Nonetheless, this event raised ethical issues about how to handle an emerging infectious disease outbreak and prevent the fear and discrimination that accompanied SARS. In addition to the resources in the SARS cast study folder from module 2, read the SARS power point presentation by Dr. Marty Citron and the CDC SARS Containment power point presentation. The first is presented in its entirety, while the second is adapted from a 2003 CDC presentation.

Scenario: You are the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator at a large Midwestern local health department. It is time to update the preparedness plan with city partners, among them a large international airport and other transportation centers. The city has relatively large Hispanic populations from Puerto Rico as well as Central and South America. A much smaller percentage of the population is from Asian countries. The health director has asked for a memo that describes laws for quarantine and isolation with reference to lessons learned from SARS. The health director is also interested in reviewing ethical principles for emergency preparedness and a framework for ethical decision-making. In the health director’s opinion, these parts of the current plan are weak, and he would like to use the memo to help him anticipate issues that the partners should consider and to guide the revision process.

Instructions: Prepare a memo of < 1000 words in which you describe quarantine and isolation. Identify three (3) cultural differences that might have an impact on all phases of an infectious disease outbreak. Describe three (3) components of an ethical framework that you want to be sure the partners consider as they review and revise the preparedness plan especially with respect to quarantine and isolation. In your conclusion, describe the ethical implications of decision-making during a disease outbreak and suggest any other issues you think should be addressed in the context of a community’s response to an emerging infectious disease outbreak.
