V3 stated, I (V3) do not have to track all that (pathogens, symptoms, mapping). I only have to track antibiotics. If someone is one an antibiotic, it flags for me in the system and I make an infection control case. It's really any anti-infective medication, such as antifungals too. Surveyor inquired about how infections that are not treated with an anti-infective agent (such as certain viral infections) are tracked, and V3 replied, No, you don't need to track anything unless it has an anti-infective medication prescribed to treat it.

on V4's laptop and affirmed that V3 was completing it in the system. V4 stated that the log V3 provided was not accurate. Surveyor asked V4 to show the pathogens being tracked in the module for January 2024 and

the organism section for each infection control case was blank, indicating pathogens were not being tracked. Copies of the infection control module that showed the missing organism in the module were requested

during survey and not received prior to the end of survey. V4 was unsure how the modules could be marked complete if the organism section was blank, stating, there must be a glitch. V4 reviewed Resident R1's electronic health record and affirmed no infection control assessments were completed related to Resident R1's cases of pneumonia/sepsis. Surveyor requested to see any infection control surveillance/mapping documentation and V4 stated that the mapping was completed in V3's office and that V4 would provide it to surveyor the following morning.
