Subject: [MCOH-EH] exposures coverage

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?

1. Emergency department
2. Infectious Control on call
3. Pharmacy -Standing order per hospital protocol
4. Occupational Medicine
5. Nurse with standing order

Your response is greatly appreciated.  I will share the results once I receive them.

Thank you,
