Who Must File Reports of Suspected Bloodborne Pathogen Transmission?
Persons required to file such reports are licensed physicians, PAs and SAs who are part of an OBS practice and suspect that there has been a transmission of a bloodborne pathogen from a health care professional to a patient or between patients originating within the practice. It is important to note that all licensed physicians, PAs and SAs who are part of the OBS practice are subject to the reporting requirement, if they have a suspicion, even if they were not directly involved with a patient’s care.
