• Edit in the General Administrative protocol in Standard #11 with reminder of requirement of WSC to be employees of the QO.
• Edit in the Qualifications and Training protocol and not met reasons in Standards #6 for HIPAA, and, #7 for HIPAA, HIV/AIDS/Infection Control.
• Standard #10 removed. While required for all existing WSC to maintain record of completion, this should be completed for all WSC hired prior to 6/30/2021 and therefore standard was removed. Training will be captured for WSC hired after 7/1/2021 under Standard #11 and this Standard was also updated to reflect the wording updates.
• Standard #12 updates to protocol.
• Please review all standards for wording updates in the protocol text and the not met reasons.
