Unfortunately, to truly use IPC programs for COVID-19 response, it is important to understand why health-care-associated outbreaks and infection prevention failures occur all too often. A 2018 Report by the Office Inspector General of the US Department of Health and Human Services assessed hospital readiness to emerging infectious disease threats following the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak.	./cache/cord-319831-e07vt846.txt	./txt/cord-319831-e07vt846.txt
