Our Emergency department  would cover for healthcare exposures and Employee Health would follow-up with the employee when we are open.

 

 

 

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,
