Looks promising, I operate a home based training service specializing in no-stress lie support training BLS< ACLS< PALS etc as well as nursing CE, we need to focus more on healthcare workers exposure to Infectious diseases that take a while to be identified, like TB, meningitis, hepatitis and AIDS. How often have we been aring for patients for 2 or 3 weeks while the AFB cuktures are cooking at antiquated "state labs" only to have the Infection control nurses come running breathlessly on the unit putting up isolation precautions on the patient and wanting to write up folks for not using the proper precautions.

Health care and emergency medical systems groups are perfect fits for using ICE according to the doctors who have participated so far.....emergency room professionals have endorsed the use of ICE as has Consumer Reports as well....to name just two....have experience working evaluating hospital safety programs for wc and gl insurance and benchmarking performance against others in this area. Hope to provide useful input here too.
