Good morning regarding any additional onboarding or periodic evaluations of healthcare personnel staffing hemodialysis units:I have reviewed the attached prior posting.
We are meeting with infection control, and the dialysis unit director to review any additional requirements.
If you do any additional OH services in addition to routine onboarding immunity screening for this group of HCP, please advise.
I know there are specific recommendations for HD patients, but I am not aware of any for HCP other than documenting Hep B immunity (which we do at onboarding for all).
Thanks!
