We have a census of 66 and we had 11 residents experience emesis and/or loose stools. Of those eleven residents three were sent out to the hospital. I reached out to Corporate, and they told me to test everyone for flu and COVID which I did, and everyone was negative. I was never instructed to put anyone on contact isolation and/or notify the health department. I did not do any surveillance and/or tracking my rooms. Staff members also got whatever it was, and I personally was really sick, but it only lasted 24 hours. I was not tracking staff members. Whatever it was, it seemed to go away as quickly as it came. We did have had a couple of call offs from staff for nausea and vomiting. On 11/14/2024 at 10:30 AM, a list of test results was requested for all of the residents tested for COVID and flu.

On 11/14/2024 at 3:10 PM, V3 stated, I went through all of the call offs, and here is a list of staff members I think called off because of the stomach bug. On 11/19/2024 at 8:38 AM, V23 (Infection Control Specialist for Hospital) and V22 (Medical Director) stated, If two or more residents are experiencing symptoms then I would expect the facility to contact the Local Health Department and (V22) who in return would then notify me so we could start surveillance. (V22) and I were never notified of the outbreak in the facility. I would consider more than two people outbreak. Tracking staff is important as well to look at the call offs and if staff are experiencing the same symptoms and how it affects the facility. Surveillance is important in tracking trends and monitoring what is happening in the facility and the community.
