Abstract
AbstractExposure workups are an important responsibility for infection control personnel. A well-designed plan for investigating exposures, which includes appropriate algorithms, will enable infection control personnel to evaluate exposures rapidly and consistently so that nosocomial transmission is minimized. Infection control personnel should use their own data to develop policies and procedures that suit the needs of their facility. After they have imple-merited the plan, infection control personnel should continue to collect data on exposures so they can continuously improve their performance.
