ANNAPOLIS, MD, USA: The Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) is providing special online resources to help dental professionals protect themselves and their patients from swine flu. The Swine Flu Resources section of the OSAP Web site includes an overview of the disease, up-to-the-minute reports on the current outbreak, tips for prevention and links to additional in-depth information. The site is a one-stop shop for current information on the swine flu epidemic.
According to OSAP, dental professionals should be vigilant as this potential pandemic emerges. The OSAP Web site, located at www.osap.org, provides a quick and easy way to stay current, as the site is constantly being updated as new information is received. Links to reports and updates from the Centers for Disease Control, American Dental Association, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and even the White House Briefing Room are available for instant access to critically important information and advisories.
In addition, the OSAP symposium Infection Prevention: Spread the Word, which is being held 11–14 June in Plano, TX, USA, will feature courses that address this issue. Dr Michael Glick will present on Emerging Diseases with Special Focus on Swine Flu, and Dr Molly Newlon will present on the 6 P’s of Emergency Preparedness, in which swine flu will be covered.
Dental professionals are encouraged to visit the swine flu resources section of the OSAP Web site frequently to stay informed. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2009, the non-profit OSAP association is dentistry’s premier resource for infection control and safety information. Through its publications, courses, Web site and worldwide collaborations, OSAP and the tax-exempt OSAP Foundation support education, research, service and policy development to promote safety and the control of infectious diseases in dental healthcare settings worldwide.
