Infection control: Regulatory impact on the home care setting

St. Elizabeth Medical Center Dayton, Ohio Intermittent Surveyor, Home Care Accreditation Services Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

What is the impact of infection control regulations, standards, and recommendations on the home care practice setting? This article discusses regulations, such as the OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules, and other standards and recommendations that mandate or influence the practice of home health. In a health care environment where more care, particularly more complex care, is delivered in the home setting, adherence to good infection control practices is of primary importance to protect home care employees, patients, and their informal and formal caregivers.
