Forum on Communicable Diseases (2nd). Held at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland on August 2-4, 1989

摘要

The Forum spent three days discussing infection control curriculum development, vaccination, related legal issues, pending Federal legislation regarding occupational exposure to infectious diseases, employee rights, and models of fire department recordkeeping of exposures. In addition to group discussions of the issues, participants divided into three break-out groups of focus on specific topics -- information concerns, operational concerns, and education and training concerns. Each group presented recommendations addressing the three issues. At the closing session, all Forum participants reconvened to review and approve all of the break-out session recommendations. These are evaluated in the report.
