Infection Prevention sends an e-mail to the department manager(s) including confirmation of organism, date(s) of exposure, locations and definition of exposure along with a tracking tool and instructions for the manager to include the names of employees meeting the aforementioned criteria and to follow up at Occupational Health.  This works great 95 % of the times except 4 pm on a  Friday when phone calls are added.
