Colleagues:
In your respective organizations, who "owns" the policy with respect to work restrictions for healthcare workers associated with communicable/infectious disease exposures or infections. While I recognize that employee health, on a case by case basis, may have to be the one to assign restrictions (including placing some personnel off work during infectious periods), is the policy itself "owned" (and thereby periodically reviewed/updated) by HR, Infection Control or Employee Health?
thanks
Pat
