[MCOH-EH] "direct patient contact" status

[Hudson, T. Warner]

Very interesting question.  From an onboarding and surveillance perspective we should treat them all the same.  But alas, we don't in reality.  We are looking to move to a different funding model for our campus populations as we currently cross charge and so different departments and PIs have different ability to pay for need services in the current model.

Question about research and/or university settings.  How do you all categorize your employees who work with human research subjects?  Do you consider them to have "direct patient contact" and provide them the same services you do for healthcare workers (i.e. RNs, MDs, MAs etc)?  We are trying to distinguish this population type.  Thank you - Elena
