Healthcare facility water management program checklist
Get PDFUpdated: 12/11/2018This checklist is intended to assist in the development of an all-hazards approach to water management in a healthcare facility, and may be used to:\u2022 Evaluate a comprehensive water management program.\u2022 Identify individuals to participate in the water management program.\u2022 Assist in conducting assessments, including hazard analyses, environmental risk assessments,\u2022 and infection control risk assessments.\u2022 Inform water monitoring practices guided by the management program.Depending on complexity of the building plumbing systems, a comprehensive program may include several water management plans. These plans should include areas within the system where control points are identified as well as monitoring methods and procedures.Water-Management-Checklist-P.pdf2018659

Rabies (Week 34) Weekly cases of notifiable diseases United States U.S. territories and Non-U.S. Residents weeks ending August 24, 2019
No full textThis data includes weekly cases of notifiable diseases, United States, U.S. Territories, and Non-U.S. Residents, specifically covering Rabies cases. The weekly data are considered provisional and collected locally due to state, territorial, and local regulations. Healthcare providers, medical labs, and other entities report conditions to public health departments, varying by jurisdiction. Case notifications for national notifiable conditions are voluntarily submitted to CDC. NNDSS data are provisional and subject to change until reconciled with state and territorial providers. Weekly cumulative counts may increase or decrease as updates occur. Finalized annual data often differ from provisional counts. CDC aggregates data for national notifiable diseases and conditions on a weekly and annual basis.

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)
No full textReducing HIV-related morbidity and Mortality, and effectively eliminating HIV Transmission risk, depends on use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to achieve and maintain viral load suppression (VLS)* (1,2). By 2020, sub-Saharan African countries are working to achieve VLS among 90% of persons using ART and 73% of all persons living with HIV infection (1). In Tanzania, a country with 1.4 million persons with HIV infection, 49.6% of HIV-positive persons aged 15-49 years had achieved VLS in 2017, including only 21.5% of men and 44.6% of women aged 25-29 years (3). To identify interventions that might increase VLS in Tanzania, and reduce VLS-associated sex and age-group disparities, the Bukoba Combination Prevention Evaluation (BCPE) scaled up new HIV tTesting, linkage to care, and retention on ART interventions throughout Bukoba Municipal Council (Bukoba), Tanzania, during October 2014-March 2017 (4,5). Located on the western shore of Lake Victoria, Bukoba is a mixed urban and rural municipality of 150,000 persons and capital of Kagera Region. Of the 31 regions of Tanzania, Kagera has the fourth highest prevalence of HIV infection (6.8%) among residents aged 15-49 years (3). CDC analyzed data from BCPE preintervention and postintervention surveys and found that VLS prevalence among HIV-positive Bukoba residents aged 18-49 years increased approximately twofold overall (from 28.6% to 64.8%) and among women (33.3% to 67.8%) and approximately threefold among men (20.5% to 59.1%) and young adults aged 18-29 years (15.6% to 56.7%). During 2017, BCPE facility-based tTesting and linkage interventions were approved as new service delivery models by the Tanzania Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (4,5). After a successful rollout to 208 facilities in 11 regions in 2018, BCPE interventions are being scaled up in all regions of Tanzania in 2019 with support from the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).|
Environ Monit Assess
Get PDFDue to the successful application of roof bolter canopy air curtains (CACs) to protect roof bolter operators from high levels of coal mine respirable dust, a shuttle car CAC is currently being developed. Since a shuttle car consistently trams from the continuous miner to the feeder and back at a speed up to 9.66 kph (6 mph) or 2.68 m/s (528 fpm), it is thought that the shuttle car may encounter very high air velocities (mine ventilation air velocity + max shuttle speed (2.68 m/s (528 fpm)). Past research and preliminary lab testing showed that CAC protection in high interference air velocities is difficult to achieve. Therefore, testing was conducted at a Midwestern US coal mine to determine the air velocities their shuttle car actually encounters. This mine used ram dump cars as their shuttle cars. Results showed that coal mine dust exposure is generally very low at the feeder and when tramming. Elevated concentrations are encountered at the ram dump car operator position when the car is being loaded by the continuous miner. Recorded air velocities while tramming did not reach the max air velocity of mine ventilation air velocity + 2.68 m/s (528 fpm) calculated as 3.32 m/s (653 fpm). High velocities, while encountered, were of low frequency and associated with low respirable coal mine dust concentrations. Therefore, using this new information, designing the shuttle car CAC for maximum interference air velocity may not be as important as previously thought.CC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHS/United State

New York: An Online Training Course Boosts Hospital-Based Promotion of Breastfeeding
Get PDFWhether you\u2019re a seventh grader or a state health department, no one likes to take home a disappointing report card. Often, though, report cards work as intended\u2014by spurring concerted effort in a particular problem area, they can yield steady and noticeable improvement. That\u2019s exactly what happened in 2008, when the New York State Department of Health found itself last among all states on an important indicator of children\u2019s health\u2014the percentage of breastfed infants receiving formula during their first two days. The indicator, among many others, is tracked through the annual Breastfeeding Report Card, compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of their effort to support and increase breastfeeding.2012659
