concerns surrounding the swine flu outbreak, Krames has
developed new content in KOD and Exit-Writer. This content is
aimed at providing patients with information on the flu, its
transmission, symptoms, treatment options and prevention
measures.
In an
effort to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date information
on the H1N1 Influenza, we have made a commitment to follow

monitoring, we use the CDC as our primary source for the
information reflected in our sheets. As such, we are carefully
and regularly monitoring the CDC updates and making appropriate
changes to our content. As of now, the title of the “Swine Flu”

necessary updates in a timely manner.
