Background The Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section, located in the ‘‘Supporting & Related Material’’ tab of the docket, updates the Guideline for infection control in health care personnel, 1998, Part F: Pregnant Personnel, and its corresponding recommendations in Part II of the 1998 Guideline. The 1998 Guideline provided information and recommendations for Occupational Health Services (OHS) of healthcare facilities and systems on the prevention of transmission of infectious diseases among healthcare personnel (HCP) and patients and can be found at https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/11563. In this document, ‘‘OHS’’ is used synonymously with ‘‘Employee Health,’’ ‘‘Employee Health Services,’’ ‘‘Employee Health and Safety,’’ ‘‘Occupational Health,’’ and other such programs. OHS refers to the group, department, or program that addresses many aspects of health and safety in the workplace for HCP, including the provision of clinical services for workrelated injuries, exposures, and illnesses. In healthcare settings, OHS addresses workplace hazards including communicable diseases; slips, trips, and falls; patient handling injuries; chemical exposures; HCP burnout; and workplace violence. This Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section update is part of a larger guideline update: Infection Control in Healthcare Personnel. Part I, Infrastructure and Routine Practices for Occupational Infection Prevention and Control Services (2019) and the Diphtheria, Group A Streptococcus, Meningococcal Disease, Pertussis, and Rabies sections of Part II, Epidemiology and Control of Selected Infections Transmitted Among Healthcare Personnel and Patients (2022) are complete and have been published on the CDC Infection Control Guideline website: https:// www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/ guidelines/healthcare-personnel/ index.html. The Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section, once finalized, is intended for use by the leaders and staff of OHS to guide the provision of occupational infection prevention and control services to HCP who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant. Since 2015, the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) has worked with national partners, academicians, public health professionals, healthcare providers, and other partners to develop Infection PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Control in Healthcare Personnel (https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/ guidelines/healthcare-personnel/ index.html) as a segmental update of the 1998 Guideline. HICPAC is a federal advisory committee appointed to provide advice and guidance to HHS and CDC regarding the practice of infection control and strategies for surveillance, prevention, and control of healthcare-associated infections, antimicrobial resistance, and related events in United States healthcare settings. HICPAC includes representatives from public health, infectious diseases, regulatory and other federal agencies, professional societies, and other stakeholders. Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section, once finalized, will be the next section to be posted to the Infection Control in Healthcare Personnel website. The updated draft recommendation in Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section is informed by reviews of the 1998 Guideline; CDC resources (e.g., CDC infection control website), guidance, and guidelines as noted more specifically in the draft document; and new scientific evidence, when available. CDC is seeking comments on the Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section. Please provide references to new evidence and justification to support any suggested revisions or additions. This Draft Guideline: Pregnant Healthcare Personnel Section is not a federal rule or regulation. Tiffany Brown, Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
