Navy hospital fights disease with a quality team
Article Abstract:
The National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD, works as a team to fight tuberculosis cases, which have been on the rise in U.S. in the recent years. The disease which is resistant to many drugs is posing a serious health problem. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has defined some guidelines for the prevention and cure. The Infection Control Committee of the NNMC took immediate steps to implement the OSHA guidelines, by identifying problem areas, developing corrective measures and forming departments to face the challenge.
