EPINet

The Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet) system collects data about percutaneous injuries among health care workers. Run by the International Health Care Workers Safety Centre at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Centre , EPINet also standardises reporting of information pertaining to such injuries, as well as exposures to patient's blood and body fluids. Hospitals can use the EPINet system to share and compare information and to identify successful injury-prevention measures. EPINet can be reached at its web site www.med.virginia.edu/~epinet/ .
