title: After the call. The latest post-exposure medical management info.
abstract: Ensuring proper post-exposure medical evaluation and treatment remains essential for the health and wellness of your personnel, risk management and OSHA compliance. Departments must ensure that the medical provider designated to manage post-exposure treatment knows the current post-exposure medical treatment protocols and that the medical facilities involved offer the most up-to-date, fastest testing methods available. With all the new recommendations and testing methods, HCWs can receive accurate information post-exposure in a 24-hour time-frame. The HIV issue can be resolved in less than one hour. This is exciting progress.
