CHA Clarifies Hospitals’ Legal Requirement for Notifying First Responders About Disease Exposure
For emergency department managers, infection control officers

Lois Richardson

CHA has recently received several requests for information about laws that require hospitals to notify first responders who may have been exposed to a communicable disease while caring for a patient. State law requires a hospital’s infection control officer to notify the employer of a prehospital care professional (emergency medical technician, paramedic, fire fighter, peace officer, and others) if a patient has a specified communicable disease that may have been transmitted to the first responder.
