29 Suzy At the daily health check the teacher/caregiver notices that 3 year old Suzy is sneezing and has greenish discharge from her nose. Suzy is smiling and interactive. The teacher/caregiver thinks Suzy s green runny nose means she is contagious and should be excluded. She checks with the director to be sure. The situation is a little tense because Suzy s mom has a high-powered job and was upset before when the program excluded Suzy for illness
30 Section 11 of MCCHP5 A. Admission and Exclusion Family and staff should share info about symptoms. Have a backup plan for care. Situations that require a health care provider note Who has the authority to make exclusion/return decisions Exclusion criteria for children who are acutely ill or injured
31 A child should be excluded if: Ability to Participate: The child s condition prevents the child from participating comfortably in activities Need for More Care: The condition requires more care than teachers/caregivers can provide with compromising the needs of other children in the group. Risk to Others: Keeping the child in care poses an increased risk to the child or other children or adults with whom the child has contact see Managing Infectious Diseases in Child Care and Schools
32 MCCHP5 Staff Members Who are Ill or Injured Specific criteria available in MIDCCS3 or CFOC3 Important for several reasons Don t want to leave (pay, pulling own weight) Leave too often (undue burden on others or creates unsafe ratios)
33 Permitted Attendance Common colds Cough not associated with fever Discharge from eye Pinkeye Fever without signs of illness Rash without fever or behavioral change Lice or nits Ringworm Molluscum contagiosum Thrush Fifth disease MRSA CMV, Hepatitis B, HIV Diarrhea as long as contained in diapers or toilet
34 State Regulations That Apply to Exclusion MCCHP5 encourages you to list the conditions for which exclusion is required in your state
35 PA Child Care Regulations Example of Need to Advocate for Updating Title 55 PA Code Ch 3270 states, An operator who observes an enrolled child with symptoms of a communicable disease or infection that can be transmitted directly or indirectly and which may threaten the health of children in care shall exclude the child from attendance until the operator receives notification from a physician or a CRNP that the child is no longer considered a threat to the health of others. The notification shall be retained in the child s file. Diseases and conditions which require exclusion are specified in 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27 (relating to communicable and noncommunicable diseases). The Department of Health will provide, upon request, a list of communicable diseases.
36 27.72: Exclusion Requirement for specific symptoms A person in charge of a public, private, parochial, Sunday or other school or college shall, following consultation with a physician or school nurse, exclude immediately a child, or staff person, including a volunteer, having contact with children, showing any of the following symptoms, unless that person is determined by the school nurse, or a physician, to be noncommunicable.
37 27.73: Readmission of excluded children A child or staff excluded from school may not be readmitted until the school nurse or a physician, is satisfied that the condition for which the person was excluded is not communicable or until the person presents a statement from a physician that the person has recovered or is noninfectious A child excluded for the following reasons shall be readmitted only when a physician has determined the illness to be either resolved, noncommunicable or in a noncommunicable stage: Rash with fever or behavioral change Productive cough with fever
38 Some Regulatory Language Problems Leads to over-exclusion due to confusion about communicable, contagious, infectious, transmissible concepts Leads to under-exclusion and confusion about who decides because does not contain two primary reasons for exclusion Too ill to participate Requires too much care Specific required exclusion out of synch with MIDCCS5 Conjunctivitis Fever above 102 (unrelated to cause or behavior) Persistent diarrhea (?persistent vs. normal looser stools) Tends to increase unnecessary health care visits because suggests that everyone excluded needs to see a health care provider prior to return even if seems well
39 B. Procedure for Management of Short- Term Illnesses If a child is mildly ill but staying for the day, document to support good care: - Admission Symptom Record - Care Plan - Symptom Record - Contingency Plan for if Symptoms Worsen
40 C. Reporting Requirements Have and use a list of communicable diseases that require reporting to the health department. Designate one person to keep an updated list and do the reporting. Parents and staff should be aware of the list and to whom to report any instance of a disease on the list Parents and staff should know what must be reported
41 D. Obtaining Immediate Medical Help See MCCHP5 Section 13. Emergency and Evacuation Plan, Drills, and Closings.
42 E. Outbreaks of Diseases Designated person at the program reports to the health department when a threshold of cases of disease is crossed (2 or more) Flu outbreaks are expected each year but facilities should have a plan and implement it in September each year. This plan should also incorporate procedures for possible pandemic.
43 Summary MCCHP5 contains a nice outline and plan for development of policies about handling illnesses and injuries at your program It can be supplemented with other resources If you implement this, you will far exceed state requirements It will make life easier, especially with exclusion and return to care issues
