Subject: [MCOH-EH] Furniture in Patient Care Areas

 

I am looking at purchasing some new furniture for patient care areas in my clinic.  I have looked on the CDC website for Infection Control guidelines for purchasing such furniture.  I cannot find any such guidelines.

 

If you have Infection Control guidelines for selecting furniture for patient care areas, I would appreciate your sharing them with me.

 

Thank you.
