Why It Matters

Documentation is department liability

The Requirements

  • Texas HSC Chapter 81 governs exposure notification and source-patient testing.
  • DSHS requires a documented chain of notification to the Local Health Authority.
  • Sharps injuries must be logged per the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.
  • Failure to document is department liability — not just personal.

What Most Departments Use Today

  • Paper forms stored in filing cabinets.
  • Generic Word and Excel templates emailed between shifts.
  • No audit trail and no automated LHA contact lookup.
  • DICOs managing compliance alone, without dedicated tooling.
