[MCOH-EH] MCOH-EH Digest, Vol 255, Issue 1 - Infant in the workplace program

[Hodgson, Michael - OSHA]

Is there a chief of staff or a credentialing committee at the hospital?  DO they undertake a timed (annual, triennial, etc) review of individuals?  Do they have a process by which they credential providers?  Does that include interviews? With staff members?  Are there patient surveys?   

Hopsitals should have processes...  TJC certainly has some pertinent standards

A number of state agencies have implemented such programs for office type workers. It's hard to imagine this type of program would work in a clinical care setting. That said, a number of hospitals have onsite childcare facilities.

Hello,

Looking for information / feedback on any Infants In the workplace programs.  A request / recommendation has been made to set up a pilot program for our workers.  I can see advantages in terms of staff who have office / administrative positons but am skeptical of doing in clinical care areas.  If anyone is doing this in your healthcare facilities I would love to know what you are doing and how your managing it.  Any feedback or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
