Abstract: The request for a New ICR is to garner a better understanding of the particular PPE needs of healthcare workers to ensure the health and safety of this workforce during emergencies, and an urgent need to monitor and assess PPE needs for the Ebola response. Infection control is a key strategy in stopping the spread of Ebola as well as identifying and managing patients with the Ebola virus. The study intends to answer the following: (1) “What is the best way to optimize the PPE supply chain in real time?” and (2) “How can predictive modeling assist in resource allocation?” Additionally, the information to be collected will aid in improving the health and safety of healthcare workers by assessing PPE training and supply management.
