Hi team,
I have a favor to ask the group.
I am reviewing the
afterhours coverage for healthcare exposure (meningococcal, ATD, blood) and would greatly appreciate to hear about your site set up.
Question:
Who covers post exposure evaluation and treatment for meningococcal or blood borne after hours and weekends?
a)
Emergency department
b)
Infectious Control on call
c)
Pharmacy -Standing order per hospital protocol
d)
Occupational Medicine
e)
Nurse with standing order
Your response is greatly appreciated.
I will share the results once I receive them.
Thank you,
