Abstract
The National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC) was established in 2015 to improve the capabilities of healthcare facilities to provide safe and effective care to patients with Ebola and other special pathogens in the United States. Through NETEC, a collaborative network of 10 Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Centers (RESPTCs) undertook readiness activities that included potential respiratory pathogens. These preparations, which took place before the COVID-19 pandemic, established a foundation of readiness that enabled RESPTCs to play a pivotal role in the US COVID-19 pandemic response. As initial COVID-19 cases were detected in the United States, RESPTCs provided essential isolation capacity, supplies, and subject matter expertise that allowed for additional time for healthcare systems to prepare. Through the Special Pathogen Research Network, RESPTCs rapidly enrolled patients into early clinical trials. During periods of high community transmission, RESPTCs provided educational, clinical, and logistical support to a wide range of healthcare and nonhealthcare settings. In this article, we describe how NETEC and the RESPTC network leveraged this foundation of special pathogen readiness to strengthen the national healthcare system's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. NETEC and the RESPTC network have proven to be an effective model that can support the national response to future emerging special pathogens.

State and Regional
Concepts of Operations (CONOPs)
NETEC Faculty
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
�Objectives
• Review the requirements and roles of frontline
facilities, assessment hospitals, State-designated Ebola
Treatment Centers, Regional Ebola and Special
Pathogen Treatment Centers (RESPTC) and health care
coalitions in State and regional concepts of operations
(CONOPs) for a patient with a suspected or confirmed
highly infectious disease
• Discuss strategies for engaging key stakeholders in
State and regional CONOPs planning

�What are Concepts of
Operations?
• Outline plans for transport of highly
infectious patients in states or regions.
– State plans should detail patient
transportation logistics and communications.
– Regional plans should focus on collaboration
and communication amongst states in a
particular region.
– CONOPs leads should communicate,
coordinate and collaborate with key
stakeholders throughout the CONOPs process.

�Region IV CONOPS
• Built upon established relationships.
• Shared more mature plans to jumpstart
planning in less advanced states and
facilities.
• Led partners to resources, but did not
force them to follow.
• Understood that planning is an ongoing
process.
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
11
�Region IV Lessons
Learned
• Need for sound and exercised
communication pathways.
• Essential to have “Plan B” for
transport.
• Just because something worked does
not mean it is finished.

�Region IV “A-ha” Moments
and Promising Practices
• Don’t forget about your Field Project

• Important to account for differing

�Region VII CONOPS
Development
• Embarked on process with a number of conference calls with
ASPR FPO, ASPR REC, and state officials representing entire
region.
• An in-person meeting was held to share about state plans and
begin a section-by-section revision of a Regional CONOPS Plan
that all participants could agree upon. This took several
follow up phone conference meetings to complete.
• Details that were state-specific were often removed to be
described in detail in the state CONOPS plans.
• Goal: A new state official could utilize the document in the
event of a Ebola or other dangerous, highly infectious disease
event.

�CONOPS Workshop
• Divide participants into groups based on their
respective regions.
– CONOPs Planning Template will serve as catalyst
• Groups to discuss:
– What’s one key success of the CONOPS
planning/development process?
– What’s one key challenge of the CONOPs
planning/development process?
– For those without a Regional or State CONOPs:
• Why? What’s your next step?
• Reconvene all participants for hot wash.
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
19
�CONOPS Workshop
Hot Wash
• Each group to share:
– One success
– One challenge
– How can NETEC assist?
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
20
�Development Strategies
• In-person meetings, with a facilitator or
policy development team if possible.
• Periodic web-conferencing with revisions
to the document segment by segment.
• CONOPs meetings might be planned to
coordinate with existing training or
planning dates to reduce travel expenses.
• Set ground rules. Bring up issues as they
arise, don't let them fester.
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
21
�Hospital Strategies
• Think about what details are important in
the different documents. The State
CONOPs may be much more detailed than
the regional CONOPs.
• CONOPs planning is an exercise in
planning, documentation, and relationship
building with peer institutions and
community partners.
NETEC Spring 2017
https://netec.org
22
�Engagement
• Celebrate the completion of the plan.
• Plan to meet at least annually to share
your key learnings from the past year and
to update any necessary items in the
CONOPS accordingly.
• Know your partners at the regional, state,
and local level.
• Share the contents of your CONOPS
documents and constantly seek feedback
and suggestions.

Abstract
<strong><span class="bold">Objective:</span></strong>
<p>In response to the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designated 56 US hospitals as Ebola treatment centers (ETCs) with high-level isolation capabilities. We aimed to determine ongoing sustainability of ETCs and identify how ETC capabilities have impacted hospital, local, and regional COVID-19 readiness and response.</p>
<strong><span class="bold">Design:</span></strong>
<p>An electronic survey included both qualitative and quantitative questions and was structured into two sections: operational sustainability and role in the COVID-19 response.</p>
<strong><span class="bold">Setting and Participants:</span></strong>
<p>The survey was distributed to site representatives from the 56 originally designated ETCs; 37 (66%) responded.</p>
<strong><span class="bold">Methods:</span></strong>
<p>Data were coded and analyzed using descriptive statistics.</p>
<strong><span class="bold">Results:</span></strong>
<p>Of the 37 responding ETCs, 33 (89%) reported they were still operating while 4 had decommissioned. ETCs that maintain high-level isolation capabilities incurred a mean of $234,367 in expenses per year. All but one ETC reported that existing capabilities (e.g., trained staff, infrastructure) before COVID-19 positively affected their hospital, local, and regional COVID-19 readiness and response (e.g., ETCs trained staff, donated supplies, and shared developed protocols).</p>
<strong><span class="bold">Conclusions:</span></strong>
<p>Existing high-level isolation capabilities and expertise developed following the 2014-2016 EVD epidemic were leveraged by ETCs to assist hospital-wide readiness for COVID-19 and support response for other local and regional hospitals However, ETCs face continued challenges in sustaining those capabilities for high-consequence infectious diseases.</p>

Abstract
<div>
<p>We surveyed 56 Ebola treatment centers (ETCs) in the United States and identified costs incurred since 2014 ($1.76 million/ETC) and sustainability strategies. ETCs reported heavy reliance on federal funding. It is uncertain if, or for how long, ETCs can maintain capabilities should federal funding expire in 2020.</p>
