Evaluation of the Person Under Investigation	2018-07-07		.txt	text/plain	5764	212	42	A patient presenting to healthcare facilities with specific clinical and epidemiological risk factors for infection with one of these pathogens may be termed a person under investigation (PUI) for the disease, and healthcare staff should utilize carefully developed protocols and procedures to guide their subsequent isolation and clinical evaluation practices until the disease has been ruled in or out. After the patient has been safely isolated, senior clinic staff must be notified and must contact appropriate subject matter experts for direction on next steps including (1) whether (based on information already available) the patient meets PUI criteria or if additional information is required; (2) if the latter, direction on the safe use of PPE and distancing from the patient; (3) advice on what types of care can safely be provided in that setting for patients confirmed as PUIs; and (4) instructions on transferring the patient to another more appropriate location for further clinical evaluation and management if deemed necessary.	./cache/cord-018780-zeok60hn.txt	./txt/cord-018780-zeok60hn.txt
