    Hi all:
    has anyone started or have a policy and/or risk assessment already that addresses the new HB 1739 for Pathogens of concern?  

    thanks

    Hi Melanie,
    We are going to adapt our previous policy that addressed the Washington law on MRSA screening to support this but we have not begun the work yet. 
    I'm hoping to set aside some time in the next month or two for this and can share then or maybe WSHA can give us some support on this? 

    Thanks for asking about this...it's been on my mind.
