Review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Survey and Certification memo 17-30-Hospitals/Critical Access Hospitals/Nursing Homes, last revised 07/06/18, revealed the facilities must have water management plans and documentation that, at a minimum, ensure each facility: 1. Conducts a facility risk assessment to identify where Legionella and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens (e.g. Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and fungi) could grow and spread in the facility water system; 2. Develops and implements a water management program that considers the ASHRAE industry standard and the CDC toolkit; and 3. Specifies testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures, and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when control limits are not maintained. Testing protocols are at the discretion of the provider. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365882 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 10
