HCV is a both a major public health concern and a specific concern for HCWs. All occupational exposures must be reported to supervisors, and medical attention must be sought and follow-up testing performed, both to comply with the bloodborne pathogens standard and to ensure greater safety for HCWs Postexposure follow-up consists of base-line blood testing for the source (if consent to testing is obtained in accordance with state and other laws) and for the person exposed. Follow-up testing should occur at four to six months. HCV RNA testing can provide earlier detection and may be performed at four to six weeks.

With a basic knowledge of the origin and transport of moisture, psychometrics, and the use of properly calibrated diagnostic tools, an EM can not only determine the origin of many moisture problems (and indoor air quality complaints), but also aid infection control efforts by minimizing microbial growth. In future issues of HHMM, CHEM will introduce the EM to flood and moisture mitigation procedures, as well as training courses and outside contracting services that should be used as an integral portion of a healthcare facility's emergency preparedness program.
