  According to Michael Iademarco, associate director in the Division of TB Elimination at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC established guidelines in 1994 to stem the spread of TB in hospitals.One key safeguard is testing employees for TB.Iademarco said the testing has two functions: to ensure the safety and health of workers and to determine whether TB is spreading within the hospital.Hospital employees are tested when they are hired and then once a year, usually on the anniversary of the hire date or during the month they were born.A spike in a hospital's TB conversion rate-the number of workers whose skin tests come back positive for infection by TB bacteria-could signal an outbreak.Iademarco said each hospital has a baseline that will vary according to the population the hospital serves.
