Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions Policy, date 10/28/24, documents Policy: It is this Facilities policy that EBPs are used to prevent transmission of infectious organisms spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient's environment. They are a strategy in nursing homes to decrease transmission of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)-targeted and epidemiologically important MDRO's (Multidrug-Resistant Organisms) when contact precautions do not apply. EBP is used during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical device, regardless of MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply. Facilities may have some discretion when implementing EBP and balancing the need to maintain a homelike environment for residents. Definition: High-contact resident care activities include but are not limited to: Dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, providing hygiene, changing linens, changing briefs, or assisting with toileting, device care or use: central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator, wound care; any skin opening requiring a dressing. Indwelling medical device- Examples include but are not limited to, central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies. A peripheral inserted central catheter is not considered an indwelling medical device for the purpose of EBP. Procedure: Personal Protective Equipment: 2. Gowns- Staff will wear a clean, non-sterile gown to protect skin and prevent soiling of clothing during procedures and resident care activities that are likely to generate splashes or sprays of blood or bodily fluids, secretions, or excretions and during specific high-contact resident care activities.
