A member asked:
Does hipaa allow facility administration to keep information from aides that work "very closely" with alf residents with c-diff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is medically necessary for all people that work with patients with c. Difficile to be aware that they have it so that they can take the necessary precautions to prevent its spread throughout the facility. Also the aides must gown and glove to prevent acquiring the infection themselves.
