F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, staff interview, review of facility policy, review of community transmission rate, review of Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) memorandum QSO-23-02-ALL, and review of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the facility failed to ensure staff wore face masks as required to potentially prevent the spread of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). This had the potential to affect all 38 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: Review of the CDC COVID-19 Integrated County View revealed on 11/14/22, the facility's county community transmission rate was high. Observation on 11/14/22 at 7:58 A.M. revealed upon entrance to the facility, unidentified staff and residents were in the common area with no face masks applied.

Interview on 11/14/22 at 8:40 A.M. with the DON verified staff were not wearing face masks in resident care areas. The DON stated she checked the data this morning, and the community transmission rate was not high, therefore the facility staff were not required to wear face masks. Upon review of the data tracker website, the DON verified the community transmission rate was indeed high. Review of the CMS COVID Data Tracker website, reviewed 11/14/22, verified the community transmission rate for the facility's county was high. Review of facility policy titled, COVID-19 Policy and Procedure, updated 09/23/22 verified all staff members are to wear personal protective equipment based on community transmission if the facility is in a county with high community transmission, they are required to be in a surgical mask.
