F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 31760 potential for actual harm Based on review of established infection control guidelines, facility policy, and residents' clinical records, as Residents Affected - Some well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control guidelines from the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to reduce the spread of infections and prevent cross-contamination for four of 43 residents reviewed (Residents 10, 27, 65, 93).
Findings include:
CDC guidance on isolation precautions and Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDRO's - bacteria that have become resistant to certain antibiotics, and these antibiotics can no longer be used to control or kill the bacteria), dated July 12, 2022, indicates that MDRO transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP's) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS updated its infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now include the use of EBP's
during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply.
The facility's policy regarding EBP's, dated September 12, 2024, indicated that EBPs are indicated (when contact precautions do not otherwise apply) for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices regardless of MDRO colonization or infection status. Wounds are those that are chronic or longer healing. Examples of chronic wounds include, but are not limited to, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous stasis ulcers. Indwelling medical device examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of the resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 10, dated December 27, 2024, revealed that the resident was usually understood, could usually understand others, had a diagnosis which included end-stage renal disease (ESRD - permanent kidney failure that requires a regular course of dialysis or a kidney transplant), and dementia, and received hemodialysis (a treatment that removes waste and extra fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not working properly).
A nursing note for Resident 10, dated December 21, 2024, revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility from the hospital and that the resident receives hemodialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and had a left chest wall tunneled catheter (a long-term vascular access device used for hemodialysis).
Observations of Resident 10's room on February 3, 2025, at 10:31 a.m.; on February 4, 2025, at 11:14 a.m.; and on February 5, 2025, at 11:56 a.m. revealed that the door to the resident's room was closed, and there was no infection control sign posted at the entrance to the resident's room to indicate that the resident required EBPs.
