[MCOH-EH] USP 800 Hazardous Drugs Medical Surveillance

[Swift, Melanie]

Amy, there will be a session on this topic at the Denver AOHC. If you're attending, please come to that session. First 90 minutes are on preventing exposure, then after a break we have 90 minutes on medical surveillance, including a study done to survey what programs are actually doing. If you can't attend you may have a colleague from Hopkins who can.

As for Vanderbilt, we do not do routine medical surveillance but we do post-exposure surveillance when there is a spill or other exposure event. (For reasons that will be discussed at the session.)

You will find a wide variety of practices in this area.

Hello,
I’m interested in what you all are doing for medical surveillance as it relates to hazardous drugs. Specifically what are you doing on hire and what are you doing annually or periodically? Any policies/procedures you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated.
