The Infection Control Manual for Outpatient Settings

Many hospitals are acquiring or otherwise collaborating with physician practices, but these smaller settings don t often have the dedicated infection control staff that larger facilities do. In most offices, infection control falls to medical assistants who have little professional training on the subject. The Infection Control Manual for Outpatient Settings explains the steps physicians and their staff should take to protect patients, employees, and the environment and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. 

This guide will help reduce infection risk with materials such as: 

  Infection control risk assessment forms specific to the physician s office 
  A medical device cleaning checklist for clinical staff 
  A pre-employment vaccination checklist 
  A bloodborne pathogen risk assessment 
  Bloodborne pathogen post-exposure counseling materials
