Proposed Project

    Assessment of Occupational Exposure Management--New--Division of 
Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), National Center for Infectious 
Diseases (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), (CDC), defines 
its primary mission as the protection of patients and healthcare 
personnel through the promotion of safety, quality, and value in the 
healthcare delivery system. One priority is preventing transmission of 
blood borne pathogens to healthcare personnel during delivery of 
medical care. The purpose of this project is to conduct an assessment 
of personnel safety in healthcare settings in the United States, 
specifically management of occupational blood exposures as part of a 
larger plan to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens. While 
the United States Public Health Service protocols on management of 
occupational exposure are widely distributed, the awareness and 
implementation of these protocols by providers of health services are 
unknown.
    CDC has undertaken the task of conducting a survey assessing 
occupational exposure management programs that will address safety for 
healthcare personnel. The survey is intended to assess surveillance 
reporting, laboratory diagnostic capacity, general policies on managing 
exposures, staffing health consultants, staff training, and provision 
of counseling for exposed workers. The results of the survey will be 
used to ensure that surveillance activities, reporting procedures for 
occupational exposures, on-site laboratory services, and occupational 
exposure management policies are consistent with national guidelines. 
Results will also be used to provide facilities with up-to-date 
information on infection control.
    Respondents from each of the four healthcare settings will be asked 
to complete the survey. The anticipated number of respondents is shown 
below. Only one response is requested from each respondent. The 
estimated average length of time necessary to complete a survey is 20 
minutes. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
