title: Management of job-related illnesses and exposures.
abstract: Home health agencies are responsible for implementing measures to prevent further transmission of infection, which occasionally requires the exclusion of health care personnel from work or direct patient contact. Decisions on work restrictions should be based on the mode of transmission and the specific epidemiology of the disease or condition in question.
