Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases (illnesses that can be spread from one person, animal, or object to another) and infections for five of seven residents (Resident 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6's personal trash bins (a metal or plastic container used for discarding garbage) without lids located at the bedside contained used blue rubber gloves (protective coverings for the hands designed to shield against chemicals, contamination, and other harmful substances). 2.

The Infection Preventionist and Environmental Services Director will ensure that waste is properly disposed of and the following rules are observed: a. If outside contamination of the container or bag is likely to occur, a second leak-proof container or bag which is closable and labeled (or color-coded) shall be placed over the outside of the first container or bag and closed to prevent leakage during handling, storage, and transport. b. Disposal of all infectious and regulated waste shall be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations . During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Laundry and Bedding, Soiled , dated 9/2022, the P&P indicated, Policy Statement: Soiled laundry/bedding shall be handled, transported and processed according to best practices for infection prevention and control. Policy Interpretation and Implementation: Handling. 1. All used laundry is handled as potentially contaminated using standard precautions (e.g., gloves and gowns when sorting). 2. Contaminated laundry is bagged or contained at the point of collection (i.e., location where it was used). 3. Leak-resistant containers or bags are used for linens or textiles contaminated with blood or body substances. 4. Sorting and rinsing of contaminated laundry at the point of use, hallways, or other open resident care spaces is prohibited. 5. Staff handle soiled textiles/linens with minimum agitation to avoid the contamination of air, surfaces, and persons. Transport: Contaminated linen and laundry bags/containers are not held close to the body or squeezed during transport. 2. There are no additional requirements (e.g., double bagging or categorizing as biohazard [any biological agent that can cause death, injury, or illness to a person]) for transporting linen from rooms where transmission-based precautions are in effect . During a professional reference review retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/infection-control/hcp/environmental-control/regulated-medical-waste.html#:~:text=Regulated%20medic titled, Regulated Medical Waste, dated 1/8/24, the professional reference indicated, . 2. Categories of Medical Waste . Health-care facility medical wastes targeted for handling and disposal precautions include laboratory waste, pathology and anatomy waste (human or animal tissues, organs, and body parts removed during medical procedures), blood specimens from clinics and laboratories, blood products, and other body-fluid specimens (saliva, vomit, urine, and feces) . 3. Management of Regulated Medical Waste in Health-Care Facilities . Medical wastes require careful disposal and containment before collection and consolidation for treatment. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration; a US Department of Labor agency responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for patients and employees) has dictated initial measures for discarding regulated medical-waste items. These measures are designed to protect the workers who generate medical wastes and who manage the wastes from point of generation to disposal. A single, leak-resistant biohazard bag is usually adequate for containment of regulated medical wastes, provided the bag is sturdy and the waste can be discarded without contaminating the bag's exterior. The contamination or puncturing of the bag requires placement into a second biohazard bag. All bags should be securely closed for disposal .
