Team Member Health (aka Employee Health) has two portacounts (quantitative) , one in our onboarding clinic and one in our TMH clinic. We have a designated MAT or LPN assigned to the fit test room for annual fit testing each day. Or onboarding
team completes the fit test as part of the onboarding process.
We fit test around 6,000 per year annually in the main hospital plus another 2,000 in the onboarding clinic. Our educator has qualitative fit testing kits and has trained superusers to fit test at all our off stie clinics and free standing
emergency depts and centers.
We were given two FTEs to take this on after COVID since we are fit testing so many more HCWs now.

Who is responsible for fit testing within your organization?
Do you outsource to a vendor? If so, who do you use?
If internal, what resources are dedicated to the program?
As always
Thank you
