Utah Admin. Code R512-32-6 - Considerations Regarding Placement of a Child With a Communicable Disease
(1) A provider's decision to accept placement
of a child with a communicable disease shall be made with sufficient knowledge
of the specific risks involved, as well as any special accommodations or care
requirements. Prior to making this decision, the caseworker shall refer the
provider to DOH for consultation on the nature of the disease, modes of
transmission, appropriate infection control measures, special care
requirements, and universal precautions.
(2) If, after consultation, the provider
accepts the placement, a Communicable Disease Information Acknowledgement form
shall be signed by the provider and placed in the provider's file, as well as
the child's case record under the "Medical/Assessment" section of that
record.
(3) If a minor is
discovered to have a communicable disease after placement, the consultation and
documentation described in Subsections
R512-32-6(1) and
(2) shall be accomplished without
delay.
