The Institute’s vice-president for small firm interests describes AICPA programs for small firms and their small business clients.

by James C. Metzler

Small businesses—the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy—rely on their CPAs for business advice, making them a core practice area for many practitioners. In recognition of this important relationship, the AICPA provides specialized resources, advocacy and other services aimed at keeping this connection solid.”

THE PCPS FIRM PRACTICE CENTER

This dynamic, new online resource provided by the Private Companies Practice Section (PCPS) offers free tools and information to help AICPA members strengthen their practices and better serve their clients. By clicking on the Resources tab on the center’s home page (www.aicpa.org/pcps), members can find sections for closely held companies, not-for-profit entities and many other practice areas. The closely held companies section, for example, contains articles on how to find fraud in private companies or improve the value of boards of directors. The tax section provides news and informative articles on topics such as changes in the tax laws. Other sections address practice management, staffing, succession planning, keeping up with standards and technology and other issues important to firms serving small businesses. The center also contains a wide variety of premium content on subjects ranging from leadership to setting goals for firm partners. To introduce these special resources to practitioners who are not PCPS members, content on the site is available free to all AICPA members until May 15, 2006.

Background: Despite the known risk of tuberculosis (TB) to health care workers (HCWs), research suggests that many are not fully
adherent with local TB infection control policies. The objective of this exploratory study was to identify factors influencing HCWs’
adherence to policies for routine tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI).
Methods: Sixteen focus groups were conducted with clinical and nonclinical staff at 2 hospitals and 2 health departments.
Participants were segmented by adherence to TST or LTBI treatment policies. In-depth, qualitative analysis was conducted to
identify facilitators and barriers to adherence.
Results: Among all focus groups, common themes included the perception that the TSTwas mandatory, the belief that conducting
TSTs at the work site facilitated adherence, and a general misunderstanding about TB epidemiology and pathogenesis. Adherent
groups more commonly mentioned facilitators, such as the perception that periodic tuberculin skin testing was protective and the
employee health (EH) provision of support services. Barriers, such as the logistic difficulty in obtaining the TST, the perception that
LTBI treatment was harmful, and a distrust of EH, emerged consistently in nonadherent groups.
Conclusions: This information may be used to develop more effective interventions for promoting HCW adherence to TB
prevention policies. Informed efforts can be implemented in coordination with reevaluations of infection control and EH programs
that may be prompted by the publication of the revised TB infection control guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in 2005. (Am J Infect Control 2004;32:456-61.)
