Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on interview the facility failed to notify California Department of Public Health (CDPH) about COVID-19 (COVID-19 - a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) outbreak
in the facility, in accordance with the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled Outbreak of Communicable Diseases.This deficient practice prevented CDPH being aware of outbreak and to ensure proper guidelines are followed to control the COVID-19 outbreak, prevent further spread and lead to irreversible health issues to the residents in the facility. During an interview on 8/28/25 at 11:31 AM with the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that he did not report the facility's current COVID-19 outbreak to CDPH. IP stated that if CDPH is not notified of an outbreak it will not be fully investigated to ensure all guidelines were followed which may create gaps in infection control procedures and cause the worsening of outbreak.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/28/2025 at 2:40 PM with the administrator (ADM), the facility's P&P titled, Outbreak of Communicable Diseases dated 5/2024 was reviewed.The P&P indicated:1. Outbreaks of communicable diseases within the facility will be promptly identified and appropriately handled.2. The ADM will be responsible for telephoning a report to the health department. The ADM stated P&P indicated that he is the responsible party to report outbreaks to CDPH, but he did not inform CDPH about the COVID-19 outbreak. Not reporting COVID-19 outbreak to CDPH put facility at risk of infection control not being properly followed and lead to further spread of COVID-19.
