Employee Health owns the policy and Infection Control reviews annually and makes revisions as necessary. Employee Health Nurses and Infection Preventionists have authority to enforce.  Human Resources reviews and provides input on the provisions that address employee time off.

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

Revisions made through employee health and lives in employee health procedure manual but revisions approved through Infection Prevention Committee and triennial review there as well.
Previously lived in Infection Prevention manual but  their scope so broad at our institution that employee health was more in tune to updating as needed so it was moved a number of years ago.
