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.
