The Organization for Safety, Asepsis, and Prevention (OSAP) has developed an online toolkit about Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) specifically for oral healthcare professionals.
The online kit contains links to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for prevention and control of MERS, best clinical practices for preventing the spreading of MERS, a "talking points" script for front office for addressing early identification and possible deferral of patients with flu-like symptoms, and links to videos, articles, and research related to MERS.
The toolkit will also feature ongoing updates that keep readers informed of future developments concerning the disease. The MERS toolkit is accessible free of charge to all dental professionals on the OSAP website.
