Challenges
- Regulatory pressure complicates hospital compliance strategies: Among the significant challenges is regulatory complexity and the need to continually evolve with shifting standards. In January 2024, OSHA reaffirmed the need for engineering controls to reduce exposure to surgical smoke, resulting in voluntary compliance by New York and Illinois health systems. Not federally mandated, the directive has created concern and placed pressure on hospitals to make compliant filtration system investments, adding to operational complexity.
- Implementation gaps and federal inaction hold up uniform safety standards: Another considerable challenge is the technical and logistical impediments to mass application across different health care settings. In May 2024, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that over 500,000 health care workers are routinely exposed to surgical smoke annually and urged federal coordination to facilitate national mandates. The report stoked controversy on Capitol Hill and fueled federally funded medical facility procurement spikes, highlighting the difficulty of achieving uniform application across the health care sector.
