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,
