Information will help many Nevada health facilities comply with law, regulation regarding tuberculosis testing An online training course in tuberculosis (TB) screening is now available to help Nevada health facilities understand the rules for screening employees as required for state licensure. TB screening compliance is a problem area for many health facilities, and this video aims to clarify the testing process and state rules that help businesses by protecting patients while avoiding financial penalties.
This training involves watching a 20-minute video and passing a short quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, the designated facility employee (e.g., infection control supervisor or human resources compliance officer) can download or print a certificate of completion and submit it to the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (HCQC) as part of the licensing packet through the Online Licensing System or as requested by an inspector. To access the course, visit the HCQC Training and Education web page. Access to the TB Screening and other online courses offered by HCQC requires a free log-in to the NEATS system (instructions are on the aforementioned Training and Education web page). See the screenshot below, and you can also email your licensing questions to [email protected].
