CDPH to Review Hospital H1N1 Infection-Control Policies

(Dec 4, 2009)

CDPH to Review Hospital H1N1 Infection-Control Policies

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Licensing and Certification (L&C), has announced a pilot project to review current infection-control policies and procedures relating to H1N1 influenza and hospital-acquired infections. The project will consist of three hospital surveys per district office, for a total of 45 surveys beginning the week of Dec. 9.

After the pilot project is concluded, L&C will conduct reviews at additional hospitals when already on site investigating complaints or adverse events. L&C is projecting 18 surveys a week.

It is critical that hospitals adhere to their own policies and procedures, as well as the new Cal/OSHA Aerosol Transmissible Disease Standard. CHA advises hospitals to ensure policies are up to date.
