Employee Health Screening, Tuberculosis Screening, and Immunizations

Sets out the Agency’s employee health program: health screening after a job offer, tuberculosis screening and testing following the 2019 CDC and National Tuberculosis Controllers Association recommendations for health care personnel (baseline individual risk assessment, symptom evaluation and test; no routine annual testing; post-exposure testing; annual TB education), hepatitis B vaccination under MIOSHA Part 554, influenza and other vaccinations offered by the Agency, work restrictions for ill or exposed staff, and confidential employee health records. No Michigan rule sets tuberculosis or health screening for home health agency staff; the Agency adopts these as its own standards under the accepted standards of practice required by 42 CFR §484.70(a).
