Warren Nursing & Rehab: Respiratory Care Failures - OH
The facility's antibiotic stewardship policy, last revised in July 2025, required that every clinical infection treated with antibiotics be reviewed by the facility's Infection Preventionist, or a designee, and recorded on approved surveillance tracking forms. Inspectors found that was not happening.
The citation falls under the facility's broader infection control program, which sets out to prevent, detect, investigate, and control infections and establish isolation precautions. Antibiotic stewardship is a core piece of that framework, designed to track whether antibiotics are being used appropriately and what outcomes follow.
When antibiotics are given without systematic review and documentation, patterns of misuse or overuse go undetected. Infections that don't respond to treatment, or residents who develop complications, can fall through the gap between what the policy promises and what staff actually record.
The deficiency was rated at minimal harm or potential for actual harm, meaning inspectors did not document a specific resident who was injured. But the scope was broad. The citation notes the practice affected many residents.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint, filed under complaint number 2655919, not a routine annual survey.
Warren Nursing & Rehab is disputing the citation.
