[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] Blood and body fluid exposures

[Swift, Melanie D., M.D.]

Tim,  you can do ongoing benchmarking by participating in the OHSN (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ohsn/default.html)or Epinet. (https://internationalsafetycenter.org/exposure-reports/)That’s really the only way to compare apples to apples, so to speak.

There may be some more official data somewhere, but for comparability  and for talking with management, we’d love to have an idea of roughly how other institutions are faring in terms of BBFE’s. [of course we realize that differing institutions may have different experiences with how well the BBFE’s are disclosed, but we’ll have to take what we can get. ]      it would be great if the info was given as number of  bbfe’s over a certain time period, with the bedcount of the hospital for comparability’s sake.

For example, in our hospital of 522 beds had 144 BBFE’s in the last six months.         [About six were double exposures]
