A comprehensive water management program for multicampus healthcare facilities.
[legionellosis]
Develop
and
implement
an
effective
program
for
hazard
analysis
and
control
of
waterborne
pathogens
at
a
multicampus
hospital
with
clinics
.
A
longitudinal
study
.
Several-
year
study
including
analysis
of
results
from
monitoring
and
tests
of
26
building
water
systems
.
Outpatient
and
inpatient
healthcare
facilities
network
.
The
hazard
analysis
and
critical
control
point
(
HACCP
)
process
was
used
to
develop
a
water
management
program
(
WMP
)
for
the
hospital
campuses
.
The
HACCP
method
systematically
addressed
3
questions
:
(
1
)
What
are
the
potential
waterborne
hazards
in
the
building
water
systems
of
these
facilities
?
(
2
)
How
are
the
hazards
being
controlled
?
(
3
)
How
do
we
know
that
the
hazards
have
been
controlled
?
Microbiological
and
chemical
tests
of
building
water
samples
were
used
to
validate
the
performance
of
the
WMP
;
disease
surveillance
data
further
validated
effective
hazard
control
.
Hazard
analysis
showed
that
waterborne
pathogens
were
generally
in
good
control
and
that
the
water
quality
was
good
in
all
facilities
.
The
hospital
network
has
had
several
legionellosis
cases
that
were
identified
as
presumptive
hospital
acquired
,
but
none
was
confirmed
or
substantiated
by
water
testing
in
follow-up
investigations
.
Building
water
system
studies
unrelated
to
these
cases
showed
that
pressure
tanks
and
electronic
automatic
faucets
required
additional
hazard
control
.
Application
of
the
HACCP
process
for
long
-term
building
water
systems
management
was
practical
and
effective
.
The
need
for
critical
control
point
management
of
temperature
,
flow
,
and
oxidant
(
chlorine
)
residual
concentration
was
emphasized
.
The
process
resulted
in
discovery
of
water
system
components
requiring
additional
hazard
control
.
