Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program
in the nursing home.
Based on review of facility policy, infection control documentation and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to have one or more individuals serving as the Infection Preventionist, responsible for the
facility's infection prevention plan, including Covid-19 transmission-based precautions for two of three
residents (Resident R94 and R111)
Based on observations, review of clinical records, facility policies and documentation, and staff interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program by failing to
follow infection control guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Pennsylvania
Department of Health (PA DOH) to reduce the spread of infections and prevent cross-contamination during
the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted one of seven residents who remained in a room with a COVID-19
positive resident becoming positive and symptomatic of COVID-19 (Resident R5).
