Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Potential bloodborne pathogen exposures, many of which occur after hours and are evaluated by emergency medicine physicians, are an important occupational hazard. Emergency medicine physicians might not be as conversant with the latest US Public Health Service guidelines as occupational medicine physicians. This research presents an efficient model in which a single expert occupational medicine physician provides guidance to many emergency medicine clinicians. Outcomes evaluation indicates that the service was widely utilized and highly rated. |
