Our evening/weekend exposures are also managed by the ED using our PEP and testing protocols, with next day follow up in our clinic, and an Occ Med provider on call for unusual situations/questions.  We improved the reporting to our group by having the exposed HCW complete a secured on-line report that meets PA law and also generates a notification to our staff so we know to follow up with them if they don't come to us after their ED visit.

Our EDs have the PEP protocols for use when OH is closed, but exposed employees see Occupational health the next business day and for the 6 months of follow up.
Ours is same as Warner's. Interestingly enough, we were having issues w/ ED staff about getting them to follow the protocols so when we updated them (Truvada/Isentress prophylaxis,etc.) I made a presentation for the ED and our ED residents and we are having a little better success but still have lab work not ordered on employee and  less so for source patient but biggest issue remains that some needlesticks seen initially in ED don't find their way to EHS until I am made aware of exposure through incident report (several months in a few cases). Not sure if others have suggestion to close the loop on incident reporting to EHS from ED? Jeff

you have an on-line reporting system, do you have a designated on-call
