The scale and scope of the investigation, numbering more than 7,200 potential exposures, required the use of the PHEP-established incident command system to manage and mitigate the outbreak. This command system was active from August 2015 to March 2016, resulting in more than 3,400 individuals being tested for HCV, and the identification of seven illnesses linked to the hospital employee.

PHEP IN ACTION. SUPPORTING HEPATITIS A OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION AND RESPONSE When a hepatitis A outbreak sickened more than 240 people in the summer of 2016, PHEP-funded staff supported communications with partners as well as the public and facilitated staffing logistics.

Epidemiologists and investigators were also able to focus on tracing the cases of illness to contaminated scallops at a restaurant. The presence of the incident command system enhanced Hawaii’s ability to bring an end to the outbreak and potentially save lives.
