The U.S. Government, through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is focusing on the health and safety of 18 million healthcare personnel. This involves advancing personal protective technology (PPT) and integrating digital solutions to enhance safety measures.
NIOSH is utilizing digital tools to improve PPE development, performance standards, and testing methods. Recent updates to the Healthcare PPT Action Plan include leveraging digital resources to address emerging health threats and optimize protection protocols. This approach aims to enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of safety measures in healthcare settings.
