Subject: [MCOH-EH] Source Patient Consent with BBP Exposures
|
Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. |
Good Morning,
Curious as to how hospitals/academic medical centers are handling source patient consents regarding Bloodborne Pathogen exposures? I am hearing from some organizations that they are obtaining consent ahead of time as part of admission
paperwork (inpatient and outpatient settings) so as to not delay processing available blood in the lab. This proactive consent contains wording that consent is given for BBP testing in the event it should occur during their admission or encounter.
I would love to hear from other organizations, particularly those in Georgia, as I know the rule can vary state to state.
Thank you!
Emily
