Describe the clinical presentation and epidemiological risk factors associated with Avian Influenza (H5N1) in the urgent care setting.\n2. Apply the Identify\, Isolate\, and Inform (III) framework to triage and manage a patient presenting with symptoms consistent with a novel infectious illness.\n3. Identify key infection control measures — including source control\, appropriate PPE\, and patient isolation protocols — relevant to urgent care operations.\n4. Outline their site’s notification and escalation procedures when a suspected infectious disease case is identified.\n5. Recognize gaps in current preparedness and articulate at least one action step to strengthen their site’s readiness ahead of the Mystery Patient Drill.
