A review of the facility's infection control data provided at the time of the survey ending June 14, 2024, revealed that the facility's infection control program failed to reflect an operational system to monitor and investigate causes of infection and manner of spread. There was no evidence of a functional system, which enabled the facility to analyze clusters, changes in prevalent organisms, or increases in the rate of infection
in a timely manner.
A review of a facility form entitled Outbreak Case-Patient Line List dated March 2024 revealed 6 resident cases of influenza A and 2 cases of Influenza B; April 2024 revealed 2 cases of influenza B and 6 cases of RSV, and April 16, 2024 through May 2, 2024, 27 residents with GI symptoms. There was a notation on the April line listing of residents with respiratory symptoms which stated 3 cases of employee flu, confirmed and 1 symptomatic employee, not confirmed.
There was no documentation of any staff infections in the infection control logs.

Threw was no documentation of any staff or resident education provided after the upper respiratory or GI outbreaks in the facility noted on the line listings. There was no documentation of any evaluation or interventions designed to prevent the spread of the infections in response to the outbreaks of flu, RSV and GI illnesses that occurred.
There was also no documented evidence that the facility tracked and trended these infections to identify the potential need for intervention with staff and residents to deter similar infections.
There was no indication that the limited data that was compiled was then evaluated to determine what could be done to prevent the spread or recurrence of infection.
Interview with the Infection Preventionist on June 13, 2024, at 11 AM confirmed that the facility infection control tracking logs were incomplete and that the facility was unable to demonstrate a fully functioning comprehensive program to monitor and prevent infections.
