Needle Stick Injury Algorithm: PHIC Accredited Healthcare Provider

This document outlines the procedure for handling needle stick injuries at a healthcare facility. It involves the employee reporting the injury to an ICC representative or nurse. An incident report is then filed and the case investigated by the ICC nurse. The head of the employee's department is notified and the employee is treated and tested according to facility policy. The ICC nurse then conducts continuous monitoring of the employee for one year with testing initially, at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year to clear the case.
