high-contact care activities with all residents who are at higher risk of acquiring or spreading an MDRO.
(The Facility) is following the recommendations of Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Center
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help protect residents, staff, and visitors from these infections.
Procedure: The new guidance calls for the use of EBP in residents with any of the following: Infection or
colonization with an MDRO when contact precautions do not otherwise apply, Indwelling medical devices
(urinary catheters, feeding tubes, tracheotomies, central lines), Chronic wounds: Diabetic foot ulcers,
Unhealed surgical wounds, Venous stasis ulcers, Chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers. Enhanced
barrier precaution supplies will be stocked in a holder on the outside of the resident's room. There will also
be a sign hung on the door alerting staff of the appropriate PPE that needs to be worn prior to giving
high-contact care activities.
