In two of the hospitals that received media attention in 2014 while caring for hospitalized Ebola patients (Emory University Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center), POC testing was used exclusively to care for the patients. Other facilities also chose a similar approach by implementing an array of diagnostic testing used to care for potential/confirmed EVD patients. The University of Chicago Medicine (UCM) set up a room near their isolation area for EVD-suspect patients. The room provided the instrumentation and supplies required to perform a comprehensive offering of diagnostic tests. Diagnostic testing includes thin-smear malaria testing and rapid molecular diagnostic testing, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, and blood culture identification using BioFire's FilmArray® panels.
