All three residents resided on the same unit. Interview on 02/22/24 at 4:07 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) Infection Preventionist (IP) #311 confirmed she had completed the monthly infection tracking logs for the facility. IP #311 stated two or more of the same type of infection with the same organism identified would be considered a trend or pattern and should be followed up on by the facility staff. IP #311 stated if she identified any infection trends she would notify the Director of Nursing (DON), who attended monthly Quality Assurance (QA) meetings, so a plan of action could be discussed. IP #311 stated if the trend was UTI's, typically education with the staff would be completed to review proper hand hygiene and review infection prevention policies and procedures. IP #311 stated she had not identified any possible trends or patterns in several months. IP #311 confirmed the above noted facility acquired UTI infections did not have an organism identified. IP #311 confirmed there were additional facility acquired UTI's on the same units as indicated above that may have constituted a trend or pattern had an organism been identified. IP #311 confirmed the two residents (Residents #26 and #60) in November 2023 and the three residents (Residents #9, #31, and #44) in January 2024 with facility acquired UTI infections with e-coli bacteria identified as the organism on the same unit would constitute a trend and should have been addressed. IP #311 confirmed she did not attend QA meetings because she works third shift. IP #311 also stated the facility did not have a full-time IP. IP #311 was only able to designate approximately 24 hours per month (two shifts) to infection control and really only was able to complete the monthly infection tracking logs. IP #311 confirmed she was not able to conduct any infection control rounds or audits of the facility.

DON #248 was not able to recall when a pattern or trend of infections had been identified and addressed with staff but stated it was prior to October 2023. DON #248 stated he would review the type of infection as well as the organism in order to confirm a pattern or trend on the same unit. DON #248 stated he felt a pattern would constitute more than two of the same infection and organism on the same unit to be a trend and should be addressed with staff. DON #248 stated he had not been able to communicate with IP #311 as frequently as he would like because IP #311 worked night shift. DON #248 stated he used to meet with IP #311 monthly but has not met with her for awhile now. DON #248 stated IP #311 did notify him of past concerns related to UTI's but no concerns had been brought to his attention recently. DON #248 confirmed organisms had not been identified for the above mentioned facility acquired UTI's. DON #248 stated if a urinalysis culture and sensitivity (UA C&S) lab test was ordered immediately (STAT) or ordered on the weekend, the lab was not able to accommodate the orders.

The Administrator confirmed no infection patterns or trends had been identified since March 2023, therefore, IP #311's attendance was not necessary. Review of the facility policy titled Infection Control Program, undated, revealed the policy stated, the infection control program is to ensure the prevention and control of health care associated infections (HAI) for the protection of our residents, families, and employees. The infection control process strives to improve the trends and patterns of significant infections. Furthermore, an action plan will be provided to control identified outbreaks of HAI. The Administrator is responsible for the Infection Control Program. The Infection Preventionist (IP) is to monitor the infection control program. Reports of infections are presented to the QAA Committee monthly for review and recommendations as necessary. Resident infection cases are monitored by the IP who completed the Monthly Summary Report and reports to the DON and monthly to the QAA Committee. The infection control prevention program will follow the criteria for all types of infections either HAI or community associated based on national guidelines provided either by the CDC, APIC, or state and local regulations as approved by the QAA Committee. The IP/designee in conjunction with the LHNA/DON/Designee will conduct environmental rounds. The IP will review the findings, identify concerns and develop action plans as part of the QAA process. The IP will review infection information for trends and unusual occurrences and make recommendations.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of Monthly Infection Tracking Logs, staff interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure the appropriate use of antibiotics according to their antibiotic stewardship program (ASP). This affected six (Residents #7, #40, #42, #51, #58, and #253) out of 80 residents in the facility. The facility census was 80. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of the Monthly Infection Tracking Log, dated October 2023, revealed Resident #51 had a healthcare associated (HA) urinary tract infection (UTI). A McGeer's criteria (criteria used to identify infections) was completed and the criteria for a UTI was not met. There was no culture completed.

Resident #7 received Macrodantin (an oral antibiotic) as a UTI prophylactic with a start date on 03/23/23 and no stop date indicated. Resident #58 had a HA UTI and kidney stones noted and did not meet McGeer's criteria for an infection. The resident received Keflex (an oral antibiotic) with a start date of 07/14/23 and no stop date. Review of the ASP Monthly Infection Tracking Log, dated November 2023, revealed Residents #7 and #58 continued receiving the same antibiotics.

IP #311 stated when antibiotics were ordered by the physician even though the resident did not meet McGeer's criteria for an infection, she did not request the physician document justification for continuing with antibiotic treatment. IP #311 also stated antibiotics ordered with no stop date indicated were reviewed every 30 days with the physician and if the physician wanted to continue with the antibiotic treatment then the medications were continued regardless of whether the resident displayed signs or symptoms of an infection. IP #311 indicated no justification for continued use of antibiotics was requested from the physician. Interview on 02/26/24 at 1:46 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) #248 confirmed the above findings.

F 0881 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Effective communication among nursing staff and between nurses and physicians/prescribers was essential. Treatment with antimicrobials is only appropriate when the practitioner determines the most likely cause of the patient's symptoms is a bacterial infection. Antimicrobials will be used only for as long as needed to treat infections, minimize the risk of relapse, or control active risk to others. When facility staff suspects a resident has an infection, the nurse performs and documents an assessment of the resident using established and accepted protocols to determine if the resident's status meets minimum criteria for initiating antimicrobials prior to calling the physician. When prescribing antimicrobials, the physician/prescriber should determine if an antimicrobial is needed based on documented assessment information provided by the facility staff, considering the most likely infecting organisms, and select an antimicrobial with organism susceptibility and determine the dose and duration of therapy. The physician/prescribers will provide antimicrobial orders, which should include the following elements: duration of therapy, including start date, stop date, number of planned days of therapy. Cultures should be obtained before starting antimicrobial therapy. Physician/practitioner should not treat asymptomatic. Event ID: Facility ID: 366215 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 11
